The Conservationists Assemble is back with volume 35! Welcome to the Conservationists Assemble. The podcast that seeks to unite with earths mightiest conservation heroes to raise the profile of our planet’s most threatened species by putting the spotlight on the fantastic work of both in situ and ex situ conservation organisations and highlighting the link between them as well as asking those important questions of what more can and needs to be done. I am your host, Captain Conservation a.k.a. Jonny Bloxham, and I am inviting you to join the ranks of the conservationists assemble community as we take the fight to earth’s biggest villain and my arch nemesis, extinction. This episode is focused on the Cuvier’s Gazelle, a species endemic to the Atlas Mountains of Northern Africa and I’ve teamed up with Eulalia Moreno Mañas from the arid zones experimental station in southern Spain who has all of the intel required to inform us on what it is going to take to defeat extinction. Will you join the fight? Tune into this episode where we roam into the arid world of the Cuvier's Gazelle with special guest, Eulalia Moreno Mañas. Lali is a Research Professor at the Estación Experimental de Zonas Áridas, the EEP coordinator for the Cuvier's Gazelle programme and has been involved with their reintroduction. In this episode, Lali enlightens us on what we know about this highly adaptable, mountain-dwelling species, the threats they face and the different organisations and efforts in conserving this unique gazelle. A particularly interesting topic of conversation focuses on how even after a being bred in ex situ environments, individuals are capable of learning and adapting to their new environment after being reintroduced to the wild within a couple of years.   Check out the links below to learn more about the work to save the Cuvier's Gazelle!
