The United Nations has designed 21 March as "International Day of Forests."  Every year on this day the UN celebrates the ways in which forests and trees sustain and protect us.  This year the focus is on how forests are key to the planet’s supply of freshwater, which is essential for life.  Thank you for water, forests!

On Thursday evening, Wild Nature Institute's Monica Bond and Dr. Derek Lee presented their research on spotted owls and wildfire to the Sacramento-Tahoe Chapter of the Society of American Foresters. The presentation encouraged foresters to embrace the ecological value and necessity of high-severity fire for the many native species that need burned forest habitats.

The conversation was lively and stimulating, and we thank the foresters for inviting us to discuss this critical topic.

New Giraffe Science Published!

3/17/2016

0 Comments

 
Wild Nature Institute scientists published a new paper in the Journal of Mammalogy this week that refines methods for counting giraffe and monitoring their populations in Africa. The paper compares three different methods for surveying giraffe and makes recommendations for improving the precision of future estimates. Dr. Derek Lee, Principal Scientist at Wild Nature Institute and lead author of the study said: "Collecting reliable data is the critically important first step to making good decisions that conserve giraffe and other wildlife populations. This paper will inform giraffe research across the continent and will likely reveal some surprises about giraffe populations."
