To ensure a stable climate and healthy future we MUST protect and restore the Amazon. At #COP30, which is just over 2 week away, the world must stand with the Indigenous Peoples and local communities who are leading the way.

Fewer than 150 achoque may survive in the wild, and we need a way to monitor their health and other factors to better protect them. Good news, though: our scientists have carried out the first ever successful microchipping trial on these salamanders! https://t.co/1qeNhvLZSR

More than 500 people and 60-100 #elephants die each year due to human-wildlife conflict in India. A Chester Zoo scientist is leading on a lifesaving mapping project to predict where conflicts may occur based on historical incidents. 🐘 https://t.co/q0mRuurf3Q

When human settlements and wildlife bump into each other it can cause big problems, so scientists are working on an interactive map aiming to keep both sides safe
