Meg's result slide showing violin plot of engagement rates with various taxa. Some sig differences but no diff between mammals, frogs, birds, molluscs
With standing room only, @meg-shaw.bsky.social talked us through ways to responsibly increase engagement in wildlife conservation images. My fav tips: avoid human-animal interactions and no need to stick to mammal pics only - similar engagement across a range of taxa!

This week, a controversial US influencer has been publicly condemned after filming herself carrying a baby wombat away from its mother.
Evidence shows that getting close to wildlife for social media content doesnβt boost engagement and can harm conservation efforts ππ§ͺ
