The next submission deadline for the MbZ Species Conservation Fund is approaching: 31 Oct 2024. The funding has been increased so that more projects can be funded. We are keen to fund conservation projects for soil biota (special focus), but any project on invertebrate conservation is welcome. The focus of the fund is on conservation action. So, if you know the major threat to a species, please make sure that you try to mitigate that threat. https://www.speciesconservation.org/

Amami-Oshima just became the largest island in the world to completely removed an invasive predator.

How did our Japanese colleagues do it?

And what does that mean for the rest of the world?

Dr. Sam Ivande wrote a really interesting blog for #WorldMigratoryBirdDay on a very important conservation campaign

Protect Insects, Protect Birds

Every year, billions of birds make seasonal movements called migrations. Along the way, they utilize stop-over habitats to refuel, and for many of these birds, insects are on the menu.

Urban parks are havens for #wildlife among our urban heat islands. As cities grow, #greenspaces take on a growing role in #wellbeing and our perceptions of #Nature

Here are some of the species I recorded on

Many people use #AI to illustrate their slides #ICE24 with sometimes mixed and hilarious results (Is that a "trinocular"? To look at bees?).

Meanwhile the children's #EntomoArt was amazingly beautiful and realistic! My point - let's get more young people involved in science and conservation by helping us illustrate our slides 👍

I co-hosted the Protect Species Podcast with Dr. @AxelHochkirch, discussing grasshoppers and the tremendous importance of tiny creatures.
