Congrats to CLP alumni @kmrpaudel & @verissimodiogo who have co-authored this recent #OpenAccess paper on illegal #wildlifetrade in #Nepal 👏

Globally, hundreds of thousands of rangers patrol 1000s of PAs daily. How can we maximize their efforts and data to minimise threats to biodiversity? See our uploaded talks (thanks speakers!) & join the live discussion at ICCB 2021 :) @SCB_Africa @ICCS_updates @Rohit_wildlife

So cool to see saiga horns & our paper featured on @ConservationSP’s front cover! Our study found young adults in Singapore cared more about price & convenience than any one type of ‘cooling water’ inc ones made with saiga horn doi.org/10.1111/csp2.567

What drives consumers’ choice of drinks made with endangered saiga antelope horn versus alternatives? Using a labelled choice experiment we found respondents most cared about *lower prices & nearby stores* rather than product! bit.ly/3k15g6l (1/2)
