In the rugged mountainous terrains of northern Kyrgyzstan, populations of roe deer, red deer and wild boar are increasing.

About a decade ago, these vast terrains were a hub for the illegal hunting and poaching.

But community-based conservancies are helping species make an effective comeback.

A new definition of human health is needed to better implement One Health Since the COVID-19 pandemic, One Health approaches1 have revived attention to the interdependence of human, animal, and ecosystem health. However, human health is still predominantly viewed through th...

Indeed this would be necessary. This would entail a shift from a pathogenic to a more saluthogenic definition in a dark world requiring a more positive perspective on #health.

As renewable diesel surges, sustainability claims are deeply questioned Renewable diesel is a biofuel made from vegetable oils and animal fats touted by proponents as an almost miraculous “drop-in” transition fuel able to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions while…

Renewable diesel, a biofuel made from vegetable oils and animal fats, is said to be able to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions and easily replace fossil diesel in engines.

But this biofuel’s recent sudden surge in production and rapid expansion in applications is alarming environmentalists.

Anybody else going to #ICCB2025 in Brisbane next month?

I'll be around with a few #wildmeat experts (@jasminwillis.bsky.social @ehpatel.bsky.social) to showcase some of our work in Asia, the Pacific and beyond!
