I would like to offer to form a group to discuss the situation for Giant ibis, the national bird of Cambodia and critically endangered species, that is, among other things, threatened by poaching for bushmeat. This is a topical issue due to the impact of COVID on rural people who have lost their jobs and are turning to wildlife as a source of protein.
Please feel welcome to join this group in the live session.
Cheers
Tony Lynam
My research interests include the natural history & conservation ecology of small mammals, wild cats, Asian elephants, and tapirs, species responses to deforestation & habitat fragmentation, hunting & wildlife trade. I work at the interface between conservation science & applied wildlife management, using evidence-based approaches, statistical analysis, & technologies (EarthRanger, camera-trapping, acoustic sensors, RS imagery, SMART) to advise the conservation of wildlife populations in tropical Asia, Oceania and East Africa.
