Leatherback turtles swimming tens of thousands of kilometres from Indonesia to Oregon, and Arctic terns traversing the planet from pole to pole.
These migratory creatures, and others like them, pose a unique headache for conservationists: how to align protection policies across the globe. Now scientists in Australia have unveiled a first-of-its-kind global migration map, which could prove a vital asset.
The online map was developed by researchers from the University of Queensland’s (UQ) Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Science.
