.Science Magazine published a letter about #Amboseli #elephant trophy hunting, which completely ignored Tanzanian realities. Shockingly, Science rejected multiple responses from Tz authors: the local MP has published his now as a press release, but appalling this wasn't published

Great talk by Sophie Jago with Dr James Borrell on Major trade-offs between conservation and wellbeing outcomes across Ethiopia’s protected area network. Worryingly protected areas have a negative impact on local food security. @KewScience
I am very happy to share that the Missouri Botanical Garden has received funding to digitize their entire herbarium! This work - made possible by an anonymous $14.4 million grant - will image and transcribe all 8 million specimens in the MO herbarium. MO Botanical Garden
