Recently captured in Gambella National Park, Marcus Westberg’s photographs offer a glimpse into one of Africa’s most important transboundary ecosystems.

Extending across western Ethiopia and into South Sudan, this network of wetlands and floodplains supports seasonal wildlife habitat for Nubian giraffe, buffalo, white-eared kob, endangered Nile lechwe and hundreds of bird species. It also forms part of the wider landscape connected to the Great Nile Migration.

The landscape is home to pastoral and agricultural communities whose lives and livelihoods are closely connected to its natural resources.

Important op-ed from @nytimes

"...there’s no getting around the fact that we — as a species and as a planet — are now living in the future that climate scientists have been warning us about for more than half a century." @WFUSabinCenter

Eroding coastal marshes are releasing more than 1.45 billion pounds of carbon into the ocean each year.

New Wake Forest-led research uses satellite imagery to reveal a hidden source of carbon emissions along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts.

US Forest Service to clearcut one of the last great groves in the Tongass. Here’s how to save it. It’s some of the most spectacular old-growth we’ve ever witnessed, and it’s marked for clearcutting. us.list-manage.com/WPCJkIaNUGQ?e=…

Cutting old growth forest in 2026 is criminal

Waterfowl conservation looks different across the pond. There are important lessons both European and North American biologists can learn from one another. wildlife.org/managing-ducks…

It’s been a banner year for red wolf pups. Both wild and captive-born pups are thriving. WATCH: wildlife.org/watch-red-wolf…

This paragraph from a good article on administrative bloat in higher ed might be the head-hurtingest thing I've read today

Numbers of tiang antelope (Damaliscus lunatus tiang) in Zakouma National Park, Chad, are on the rise, as shown by biennial surveys and supplementary monthly counts. This is good news for the antelope themselves, and for the Zakouma ecosystem: migrating and grazing antelope as they move through the landscape. 

Unpredictable rainfall patterns and seasonal flooding largely dictate the movements of the tiang (herds alternatively follow receding waters to graze, or retreat to higher ground during seasonal flooding). The tiang depend on some of the same resources as livestock belonging to transhumant herders, which highlights the importance of working together with local communities to ensure sustainable access to the resources that both wildlife and cattle need.

Different subsets of Zakouma’s tiang migrate in different ways, with some herds remaining in a very localised area, while others cross greater distances that see them leave the protected area.
