I'm thrilled for this project to fill gaps on marabou storks' movement ecology in E. Africa. This 🦤 bird👇already completed an incredible roundtrip journey from Nairobi 🇰🇪 to western Somalia🇸🇴! A big thanks to collaborators and @WaterbirdSociet funding for making this possible!

From trash to treasure: we’ve just launched a new tracking initiative to understand how urban dump sites impact the movements of Africa’s avian giants 🛰️🙌

Feels bittersweet tbh. Many on frontlines fought for a loss and damage fund for years, even when told it was impossible, bc it’s an existential issue. Now that it’s here, it means devastation and injustice of climate crisis has reached a point where no one can ignore it. #COP28

Risky human-wildlife interfaces are critical to characterize to understand transmission dynamics for many different zoonoses, stay tuned for future research on this theme.
Thank you to my co-authors including @NYCParks, @diukwasserlab, @fondazionemach! 5/end
