Dear Earthwatcher,

Welcome to your April eNewsletter. This month, read about the latest research findings from the west coast of Scotland where a group of killer whales is threatened with extinction.

 

You can also enjoy a fascinating account of our research in South Africa where Earthwatch scientists and volunteers are working to develop our understanding of the brown hyaena.

 

And finally, remember next month's lecture, Forests: challenged by a changing climate, at the Royal Geographical Society. I look forward to seeing you there.

Warm regards,

Nigel Winser
