Our new (OA) article is out! We show how modern camera traps can be used to help #lion population monitoring, using examples from southern #Tanzania's understudied #Ruaha-Rungwa landscape. Thanks to @cesearle @AmyDickman4 @PhilippHenschel @macdonalddw @mkuburo @smitjosephine!

Leopard research carried out by @cesearle during her DPhil has led to multiple publications and will play a key role in informing conservation planning across sub-Saharan Africa. Read more about her DPhil thesis and future work with @LionLandscapes https://t.co/h0gduD96zs

Highlights of a new study led by Charlotte Searle @cesearle, with WildCRU researchers and collaborators in #Botswana and #Zimbabwe, sheds light on #leopards in the Kavango Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. @oxfordbiology @ruahacarnivores @AmyDickman4 @macdonalddw

A fantastic and thought-provoking piece by @timrequarth on the difficulty of assigning blame in crimes driven by traumatic brain injury. This must have been tough to write, but I'm glad you did https://t.co/0xw6eQnOrk via @longreads

In Tanzania, hunting areas cover vast areas of intact habitat for threatened wildlife species like lion and leopard - unless viable alternatives are put forward by those calling for a ban, we risk losing these areas to conversion #trophyhunting #conservation

A well-articulated explanation of why banning trophy hunting without an alternative plan in place for hunting areas may threaten wildlife #trophyhunting #conservation

Despite their iconic status, there is no published density assessment of any leopard population in #Tanzania. Charlotte Searle, with @ruahacarnivores, is conducting research to address this knowledge gap using #cameratrap surveys

First MSc publication on #leopard habitat use in a human impacted area of #Mozambique is out! @ConSciImperial @MarcusRowcliffe https://t.co/x7hxbN1thi Feel free to message if you have issues accessing it
