#New species of Oak hidden away in the greenery of Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuaryan international team of scientists from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical garden (China)
and the Forest Herbarium (BKF--Thailand) discovered a new species of Stone Oak in the Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary in Thailand.
-and wildlife such as the Blue-banded Kingfisher and Whitehanded Gibbons as well for its rare and beautiful flora like Rafflesia's--known to hold some of the largest flowers on earth.
The wildlife sanctuary covers a region of low-lying forested mountains and is located in the middle of a fascinating transition zone that lies between the northern Indochinese and the southern Sundaland biogeographic regions.
and has not been recorded outside Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary. During our field survey we found only one individual tree located on a gentle sloping section of closed dense forest explains one of the authors Dr. Strijk.
and other flora and fauna present in the Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary. The unique species composition high diversity and relatively intact forest structure underscore the importance of strengthening ongoing and future conservation measures at Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary as a key element of wider
conservation efforts in southern Thailand adds Dr. Strijk. Currently more than 300 species of Stone Oak have been described occurring from eastern India to Japan and the eastern tip of Papua new guinea.
The fieldwork and surveys in Ton Pariwat Wildlife Sanctuary by the team of Dutch and Thai botanists are part of ongoing research on the genomics systematics biogeography and evolution of tropical Asian Oaks
The update released at the United for Wildlife symposium today in London was made by adding new data from 2012 and 2013
These new numbers showing the continuing decline of the African forest elephant are the exact reason why there is a sense of urgency at the United for Wildlife trafficking symposium in London this week said Dr. John Robinson WCS Chief

and resources to adapt to a swiftly growing production system said Dr. Kristine Smith Wildlife Veterinarian and Associate Director of Health and Policy at Ecohealth Alliance.
There some wildlife have thrived in extensively managed farmland but are threatened by agricultural intensification. However in developing nations there is often great pressure on the land to provide enough food for local people resulting in the conversion of natural habitat to farmland.
The new results span 27 years of data collected in Argentina under the direction of Dee Boersma UW biology professor with the support of the Wildlife Conservation Society the UW the Office of Turismo in Argentina
and wildlife ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who studies the deliberate molasses-slow animals in northeast Costa rica.
I was surprised to see all the different birds that are using these agricultural fields--especially during spring migration said Kelly Vanbeek a wildlife biologist at the Wisconsin Department of Natural resources who conducted the study while a graduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Generally row crops are not good for wildlife Brawn said. They're just not. But this paper shows that in situ agricultural production--depending on how you do it--can have some benefits for wildlife.
The team also found other grassland species that are in decline--Eastern meadowlarks ring-necked pheasants and field sparrows--nesting in no-till fields.
or wildlife in general the ones that did occupy grassland habitat are the ones whose populations have tanked the most Brawn said.
Rather than buying up modest tracts of land for wildlife preservation an approach that is minimally effective he said farmers
if only 3 or 4 percent of farmers adopted this approach it would have a greater effect than all the land that we have in wildlife preserves in Illinois he said.
and they say there's no way there's value for wildlife in those Vanbeek said. But we've proved there is.
