The dwarf galago and tree hyrax both appear to be species new to science, but also on the brink of extinction due to deforestation. How did researcheres find them in the Taita hills of Kenya? Hanna Rosti tells about how the research started and the plans to save the species. If you are interested in field biology, follow @Kentällä - In the field for more!
Good news from the Kenyan Taita Hills: the Taita mountain dwarf galago still survives. The tiny nocturnal prosimian was first reported in 2002 but no more signs of it were found for almost 20 years – until now.

Helsingfors universitetet klimatkompenserar de arbetsresor som personalen gjort med flyg 2018. Klimatkompenseringen av arbetsresor kommer att fortsätta de kommande åren: målet är att ta fram en modell där utsläppen och kompensationerna beaktas ingående när man bedömer behovet av en resa och väljer resesätt. – Målet är att hållbarhetstänket ska genomsyra universitets verksamhet och att vi ska vara föregångare inom ansvarsfullhet, säger prorektor Tom Böhling.
The University of Helsinki compensates for the emissions generated by its employees’ air travel in 2018. Compensation for the climate effects of work-related travel will continue in the coming years: the aim is to establish a model that makes air travel emissions and compensation an integral part of the process of considering travel needs and selecting modes of transport.
