Biodiversity & Conservation Research Group @LJMU; oceans to mountains, tropics to poles, climate to adaptations, molecules to ecosystems, threats to solutions.

The BioCon Team have been busy recently! One example is one of our fantastic conservation ecologists, Dr Sarah Dalrymple, hosted an important meeting of the Gov's "England Species Reintroduction Taskforce", of which she is a key member, to dicuss all things #translocations for nature recovery.

Great to be invited by @sarahedalrymple.bsky.social to join the England Species Reintroductions Taskforce #ESRT meeting today at @ljmuofficial.bsky.social & meet so many powerhouses coming together to realise the full potential of #conservation #translocations for nature recovery and society.

Happy New Year 🎆 We hope you had a relaxing winter break & look forward to returning to LJMU! In the meantime, wildlife lovers, keep an eye out out for these beauties: Waxwings! Named after the waxy red tips on their secondaries, these birds are currently overwintering in the UK (inc. Liverpool!).
