Beef cattle performance and hair cortisol accumulation in silvopastoral and pastoral systems: a 2-year assessment by A. Ripamonti, G. Foggi, A. Mantino, L. Turini, J. Goracci, A. Silvi, M. Finocchi, M. Mele

“…During spring, PA-reared animals performed best, likely because of favourable microclimate conditions and abundant pasture, making tree shade unnecessary. Conversely, in summer, as heat stress risk increased—indicated by higher BGHI levels—tree presence in the SP system mitigated heat stress impacts on ADG, resulting in superior SP performance over PA. …”

Projet KIKI : Projet de conservation et de réintroduction des cercopithèques du Gabon by Carole Dilger, Guillaume Le Flohic, Noé Campagne, Peggy Motsch

“…Nos efforts, reposant principalement sur une poignée de personnes, n’ont pas un rayonnement suffisamment conséquent à l’échelle du territoire gabonais ; les méthodes de chasse illégales sont encore monnaie courante (pièges aux câbles au sol) et la détention de jeunes singes ne tarie pas (plusieurs centaines sont recensées chaque année). Cependant, durant ces deux ans, nous avons obtenu plusieurs résultats positifs, qui démontrent que, bien qu’à petite échelle, les mentalités peuvent évoluer. …”
