The illegal wildlife trade is one of the most high-value illicit trade sectors globally, threatening both human well-being and biodiversity.

To conserve wide-ranging species in human-modified landscapes, it is essential to understand how animals selectively use or avoid cultivated areas.
Abstract Network (graph) theory is a popular analytical framework to characterize the structure and dynamics among discrete objects and is particularly effective at identifying critical hubs and patterns of connectivity.
Repeated use of the same areas may benefit animals as they exploit familiar sites, leading to consistent home ranges over time that can span generations.
In the southern Bago Yoma mountain range in Myanmar, Asian elephants are being killed at a disturbing rate. This emerging crisis was identified initially through a telemetry study when 7 of 19 of collared elephants were poached within a year of being fitt
Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) are threatened primarily by habitat loss and human–elephant conflict.
The illegal killing of elephants, i.e. poaching and human-elephant related mortality, is the greatest immediate threats to elephants. They have led to declining of many populations of elephants in Africa.
Animal movement is fundamental for ecosystem functioning and species survival, yet the effects of the anthropogenic footprint on animal movements have not been estimated across species.
As human and elephant populations grow in Kenya, elephants increasingly leave parks to eat farmers’ crops while foraging, which creates epicenters of human-elephant conflict (HEC).
Much of the African ivory that reaches Myanmar is smuggled in containers to Vietnam and is transported usually in worked form up the Mekong River through the infamous Golden Triangle region into the east of the country on the border with China, to meet Ch
The world is changing fast. As the tectonic plates of geopolitics and climate change shift, nature is increasingly threatened by humanity.
