I've been busy digging up work since opting to do freelance feature writing full-time. It's a grind but I'm enjoying it. Here's my latest published piece: "Of #bats and blades," in ON Nature magazine. Expect more attacks on #wind turbines with Trump in office. Truth is, we need them. My piece explores why turbines take a big toll on three #migratory bat species and what can be done to stop it. Focus is on Ontario, but topic relevant across North America. catalog.ontarionature.org/wint [digital PDF]

The #Education for #Nature#Vietnam #ENV, one of the country’s #pioneering social organisations in #wildlife #conservation, has released a 2 minute video clip titled "Chim troi keu cuu" (wild birds cry out for help) to urge the #community to refrain from #WildBird consumption and join #protection efforts.

The clip exposes haunting and cruel moments of the widespread destruction of the feathered animals, giving only a glimpse of the acts prevalent in many localities nationwide.

Vietnam is among the 25 countries with the richest #diversity of wild #birds species globally. However, #poaching and #IllegalTrading pose serious threats to hundreds of #indigenous and #migratory bird species in the country. In localities such as #QuangNinh and #ThaiBinh in the north and #ThuaThien - #Hue in the central region, #poachers employ sophisticated methods including decoys and birdsong mimicking devices to lure the animals, followed by nets, traps, or guns for capture. This rampant hunting seriously jeopardises Vietnam's #biodiversity.

Vietnam+ (VietnamPlus) · Clip calls for protection of wild birdsThe Education for Nature – Vietnam (ENV), one of the country’s pioneering social organisations in wildlife conservation, has released a two-minute video clip titled "Chim troi keu cuu" (wild birds cry out for help) to urge the community to refrain from wild bird consumption and join protection efforts.

Today European Space Agency (#ESA)'s #Swarm constellation which measures Earth's magnetic field 🧭, celebrates 9 years since launch.

We used Swarm data to study #migratory #bird #navigation. We first linked Swarm data to #GPS #trajectories of migratory birds:

Then we developed new models of #geomagnetic #navigation:

This is the first time anyone used data on real geomagnetic conditions to do this! And it could not have happened without Swarm.
