Wildlife Blog

From Bangladesh to Brazil, experience what it’s like to rescue sea turtles off the coast of Mexico or trudge through tropical rainforests searching for the next emerging deadly disease. Wildlife Trust scientists give you a snapshot from the field and firsthand accounts of conservation projects like these from around the world.

Hullabaloo and Ballyhoo

There are days we are wildly successful at sampling and trapping and then there are days that are long, arduous and less fulfilling.

A Numbers Game

Today, we only managed to trap and sample a Spotted Redshank and a Little Grebe. With our limited time in the field we are striving to sample a large number of waterfowl.

The Mod Squad

The next morning the trapping squad managed to examine another Cotton Pygmy Goose, two Northern Shovelers, four Ruddy Shelducks, and a Fulvous whistling duck. Our goal was to affix satellite transmitters to five of the birds for further tracking purposes.

Trapper Keepers

We've been collaborating with The Bombay Natural History Society to aid in our attempts to sample waterfowl for our project.

From Dhaka to Hakaluki

After three weeks in Dhaka fighting for final project approval we began our trek to Hakaluki haor which is about 6.5 hours northeast of the city near Kulaura to begin our research.
