Science Snippets: Science through the 50 Years: the species we work on
The Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) is celebrating its 50th anniversary, and we are reflecting on our remarkable contributions to scientific discovery over this period.
Conscious Conservation
The Conservation Planning and Science Unit has been working with experts across different taxonomic groups (Amphibians, Reptiles, and Mammals) to identify Data Deficient species most likely to need protection and enhanced conservation efforts.
Science Snippets: Can farming actually save threatened species?
The Blue Crane’s adaptation to wheat and pasture agriculture in the Western Cape has been their saving grace and aided their recovery. However, we have some concerns that this population is no longer thriving.
Science Snippets: Cape Vultures blowing in the wind
In South Africa, wind energy farms overlap significantly with the flying patterns of Cape Vultures, and a recent publication* co-authored by EWT scientists quantified the risks posed by wind energy development facilities to Cape Vultures.
