Dear Friends and Colleagues,
It has been a year since we launched PADDDtracker!
In the last 12 months:
- more than 6000 visitors from 143 countries visited PADDDtracker.org
- dozens of new PADDD events were identified by users like you
- we published research on PADDD in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean (you can read it here in Biological Conservation)
To coincide with the one year anniversary of PADDDtracker.org, we are releasing a freely downloadable PADDD dataset.
Want to know more? Have any questions? We’ll be hosting a webinar in early February with details about our research findings, PADDDtracker.org, and the data release.
Stay tuned for details!
