It's a privilege to be a part of a paper on tiger conservation. All the hard work was done by Saneer and highlights the successes of research and management in Nepal that have resulted in impressive gains for wild tigers. πŸ…πŸ§ͺ🐯

Learn more about the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERR) (NOAA/states partnership). The NERRS do a fantastic job integrating long‐term and short term research for resilient coastal ecosystems. You can find me at Rookery Bay NERR in FL.

Wide range of Earth’s species are showing a decline in diversity The loss of genetic variation means species may be less resilient to climate change and other stressors

Our long term project has finally been published - genetic diversity is lost worldwide, but we can also make a difference and conservation actions matters.

Multi-generational benefits of genetic rescue - Scientific Reports Scientific Reports - Multi-generational benefits of genetic rescue

Genetic rescue has been touted as a conservation tool to revive endangered populations. A remaining question is how long the benefits of can persist in a wild population? We compiled 40 years of data on Florida panthers to get at that question. πŸ§ͺ🌍🦀🧬

Bringing Pandas, Wolves and Panthers Back from the Brink There are so many species facing extinctionβ€”but today we’re telling stories about the animals making a comeback and the conservationists working hard to help.

Some good news for the new year! Check out this podcast on conservation success stories, including our work on genetic rescue of Florida panthers and others examples. πŸ§ͺπŸŒπŸ»β€β„οΈ

Naples Field Lab: Florida Panther Research
FWRI's Naples Field Lab is one of the Institute’s 31 field labs located throughout the state. Since 1981, this lab has been home to the Florida Panther Project. Learn about current research efforts to aid in the recovery and conservation of Florida panthers. Support panther conservation by purchasing a "Protect the Panther" license plate: myfwc.com/wildlifehabitats/wildlife/panther/plate/ or donate directly to the Fish & Wildlife Foundation’s Florida Panther Fund: wildlifeflorida.givingfuel.com/florida-panther-fund Naples Field Lab: Florida Panther Research

I think they did a great job showing the wide range of research we do at our field office on Florida panthers, something our state agency has been a part of for 43 years.

We recently collaborated on a paper that assessed the impact of spatial connectivity and movement by Florida panthers on disease transmission dynamics. You can check out the paper here. #conservation #wildlife scienceπŸ§ͺ🦀
