Communicating our methodological approach in a science-policy-practice workshop in #Madagascar with the virtual presence of @CDEunibe researchers and led by our colleagues ESSA Eaux et Forêts. Science communication in hybrid mode made possible through partnership! (SO)r4d programme

In this new commentary, we propose that the prioritization of local communities’ needs, local leadership, & research capacity could increase the resilience of conservation under crisis scenarios. We need to put local empowerment at the heart of post-covid conservation strategy.

#languagebarriers have multiple major consequences for scientists, the advance of science, and its impact on societies. We need a concerted effort from all – both non-native & native speakers. Here we've listed ten things you can start doing today. rdcu.be/cnZQf

After a year of uncertainty it is a huge pleasure that our #Malagasy team finally managed to collect data on land users' perceptions of changes related to the #Ambatovy mine! This week they will continue with interviews in villages around the tailing dam near Tamatave.

I would say that was the most important event held at @CDEunibe this year: a 3 hour workshop on adressing racism and checking our privilages. Thanks to Nora Refail for enabling us to do so. Part 2 on institutional racism will follow in 2022.

Many countries have made ambitious forest restoration (FLR) commitments. But the divide betw policy, legislation & practices re. tree & land tenure might limit their success. 🍃In this new review, we analyze tenure considerations in Madagascar’s legal texts and FLR policies.

An entire #landscape changes its function in less than 20 years? So it happened in northwestern #Laos, mainly due to #Chinese market demands. This is documented in our new publication Frontiers - Sustainability: bit.ly/3iKWDQ8 #openaccess. A short thread: ✏️ #1

"Diversity [mainly where decisions are taken] is the key to decolonizing research." First interview about #decolonization! I spoke with #CDEunibe communication officer about decolonizing North-South research collaborations. Stayed tuned!

Check out our new paper “Resolving land tenure security is essential to deliver forest restoration” in Communications Earth & Environment which shows why and how secure/insecure land tenure and resources-property rights could affect forest restoration processes and outcomes. nature.com/articles/s4324…
