He’s not just cute. He’s critically aware. From fashion icon to ecosystem guardian. The paradox of Meerkatini conservationale.

A species is as good as the #environment it lives in. A species also forms the #environment for both its own kind, other species, and the non-living components. Where the #environment is no longer what it used to be, the species there may no longer be what they used to be. 🫴

On a day like this, we reflect on all #endangered species, and the struggle to survive in their remaining habitats. This female of the Endangered Banded Jewel Damselfly pictured below 👇 is attempting to lay her egg around the stream bank, hoping that they eventually survive.

Popular opinion among students in our #school and folks around Ife is that if a #bat's 🦇 poop hasn't dropped on you within your 4-6 years of being a student of #GreatIfe, then your studentship hasn't been sealed from above 😂.

Our university campus boasts of one of the largest sub-populations of the fruit bat, Eiodolon helvum in Southwest Nigeria, with over 30,000 individuals at any time. There are more bats than students on our campus 😂.

On #BatAppreciationDay, I admire two aspects about bats in Nigeria. First is the great work being done by @smaconbats to protect different species of these special animals in #Naija. Second is my videoclip👇 of a fraction of bat 🦇 population in my #university @TheGreatestIFE
