Today is . For the Estuarine pipefish (Syngnathus watermeyeri), it’s a reminder that reversing the red doesn’t always come with dramatic interventions, but often begins by getting the science right with research.

“Our work was a powerful reminder that absence from records does not always mean absence from nature. By grounding conservation in objective assessment and robust data, we can make sure our conservation actions are well informed, and that species at risk receive the protection they truly need,” said Dr Louw Claassens, Research Associate at Rhodes University, and also our the Regional Focal Point for Africa.
