Next, BTO’s Senior Research Ecologist, Daniel Johnston, showed us the incredible journeys of Lesser Black-backed Gulls GPS-tagged on Lough Neagh. Some gulls were tracked spending their winters feeding in Madrid’s fish markets and on the coast of Mauritania!

Help us give killer whales a voice | Raincoast We have a little over three months to raise $77,500 for our marine expedition to take place!

Help us give killer whales a voice

Noise pollution is profoundly disrupting the whales’ ability to communicate. It is a threat that is invisible to us, but devastating to them.

We've published a paper on a key conservation issue - ranger mental health.

Frontline rangers face extreme stress—but support is still lacking. This has real consequences not just for individuals, but also for conservation outcomes.

The goal: real-time biodiversity assessments that are locally grounded but globally scalable, helping guide conservation and policy worldwide.

Biodiversity and Conservation @ MVRL We develop novel algorithms for monitoring environmental changes and biodiversity at a global scale. Our work focuses on using computer vision and remote sensing techniques to track changes in ecosystems, monitor species populations, and support conservation efforts through automated analysis of imagery from satellites, webcams, and other imaging sources. Recent research includes unified embedding spaces for ecological applications (TaxaBind), language-driven hierarchical species distribution modeling (LD-SDM), global and local entailment learning for natural world imagery (RCME), and probabilistic masked multimodal embedding models for ecology (ProM3E). We also work on cross-view contrastive masked autoencoders for bird species classification and mapping (BirdSat), and improved canopy vertical structural diversity mapping across varied topographies using deep learning techniques.

New records and co-occurrence in the Amazon Region of Colombia of Short-eared Dog, Atelocynus microtis (Sclater, 1883), and Crab-eating Fox, Cerdocyon thous (Linnaeus, 1766) (Mammalia, Canidae) Atelocynus microtis (Sclater, 1883) is a rare canid whose distribution spans the entire Amazon Basin. It is the least known canid in Colombia, where sightings have been reported from six localities. I...

LESSONS FROM CROCODILE

🐊 In crocodiles, sex is influenced by incubation temperature — a process known as Temperature-Dependent Sex Determination (TSD). Environmental changes can shape population structure over time.

The bottom line is global biodiversity loss isn’t driven by one dominant threat. It’s the combined, cumulative pressure of multiple drivers. To halt vertebrate declines, conservation must tackle them together. 🌍

Best behavior and environment studies of 2025 Here are five of the most-read lessons from Rare’s Behavior Beat newsletter in 2025 that we can use to spur more action.

Behavioural science isn't nice-to-have, it's essential infrastructure for conservation and climate action.

Understanding what drives decisions helps us design interventions that last.
