  2. Every Crime Leaves a Trace by Britta Jaschinski (Earth Photo award 2026)

    Can crime-scene techniques stop a $23bn (£17bn) poaching industry? But can you spot the human hand print on this green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas)? The image demonstrates a method for securing forensic evidence that can help to catch poachers and animal traffickers.

  8. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🍝🤌 A sea urchin #pasta craze is fueling illegal nighttime #poaching in #Naples#Gaiola Underwater Park.

    Marine biologists found that poachers strip up to 17% of the park’s purple #urchins in one night – removing a #keystonespecies that keeps algal growth in check and supports #predator #fish populations. The trade is entirely black market in #Campania, with scientists calling for a nationwide harvest moratorium.

  10. There's a good article by Chinese wildlife conservationist Lishu Li on the #PBSNature site about her efforts to curb wildlife trafficking.

    "The turtle on my grandmother’s kitchen floor today reminds me not of wrongs committed, but of perspectives that have broadened and must continue to shift. Some of that shifting will come from outside pressure, but I am most interested in the kind that happens from within, as people who have long sensed something was off stop waiting for permission to act."

    "China today is unrecognizable from the country I grew up in. Eating wild meat now carries shame and there is real public consensus around protection. But trafficking has not vanished; it has changed shape."
