Disturbance on the water is a big threat to seabirds in areas of high boat traffic - like the Hauraki Gulf. Unfortunately, we often see scenes like this: recreational boats ploughing at speed through rafts of seabird resting on the water. Some birds can't get out of the way in time, and they're hit, injured, or killed outright. ⠀⠀ There are speed recommendations in the Hauraki Gulf to prevent larger vessels striking whales (particularly Bryde's whales) - could we do the same for rafts of seabirds? Slower speeds give them time to take off and get out of the way, and it doesn't take much to avoid disturbing them. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ #seabirdscience #conservation #conservation_photography #seabird_story #seabird #shearwater #haurakigulf #seachange #threatenedspecies #wildlife #bird_photography #marine #newzealand #aotearoa #conservationphotographer #conservationbiology #wildlifescience #marineconservation #ocean #nikonnz @docgovtnz #wildlifeplanet #birdsofinstagram #wildlifeconservation https://www.instagram.com/p/ByVwW4RgXLi/?igshid=zp5vr47nm5bh

Mommy and I practiced capturing rubber footed wood rats on the events field, mom made me work super hard to not sniff the thing or the box she caught it in #servicedog #servicedogteam #wildlifescience #wildlifer #wildlifetechniques #servicedogsofig #germanshepherd #germanshepherddog #germansheperdsonline (at Humboldt State University)

Lions (Panthera leo) are the second largest of the cats—tigers are the first—and the roar of the male can be heard up to 5 miles (8km) away! One little known fact about males: the darker their manes, the older they are. Most people are aware the females are the hunters of the pride, but most don’t realize the males are responsible for guarding the territory against other prides. This is what typically leads to much of the roaring heard on the savannah at night. It’s their way of saying “Hey! This is my spot! Go hunt for food somewhere else!” Usually, this followed up with scent marking by urine. In the wild, male lions don’t typically die from old age, but from violence induced by competition with other younger males. Species Status: Threatened.

Eleven all-nighters in a row makes a sleepy Edin - but we retrieved many GPS units from rako Buller's shearwaters (often at around 4am) and deployed some geolocators to track their migration movements! Fieldwork is tough, but it's always a lot of fun and the data we get out of it is very exciting.⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ #birdventurenz #seabirdscience #biologistlife #fieldwork #fieldbiology #aotearoa #nnzst #seabird #shearwater #biology #marine #your-best-birds #yawn #raw_birds #birdstagram #birdsofinstagram #best_bird_shots #wildlifescience #conservationphotography #poorknightsislands #fieldbiologist #womeninstem #seabirdstory #birdphotography #newzealand #pelagic #wanderwonder #birdventure #wildlife #nzbirds https://www.instagram.com/p/BwiA_RFBEf2/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1297ewyke8lg7

Wildlife conservation is a diverse field of study and has been attracting the attention of quite a good number of students who are nature lovers and passionate about the rich flora and fauna of our country. Getting into one of the Wildlife Institutes in India enables them to pursue a flourishing career in wildlife sciences. They not only explore the beauty of nature being in this profession but also get to work for the welfare of animals and make significant contribution in the preservation of diverse wildlife of India.

I'm so stoked to spend the upcoming summer trapping Uinta ground squirrels to better understand how climate change is impacting the species here in Logan Canyon! I can't think of a better way to spend my last summer as an undergraduate. #actonclimate #wildlifescience (at Utah State University)

Today I climbed a mountain in Nevada to volunteer with Hawkwatch. They have been monitoring migration of raptors at this site since 1980. Days like this confirm that I'm headed in the right direction, I felt so happy from simply releasing a sharp-shinned hawk back into flight 💙
