Fascinating presentation from Dr Jen Lucey SEnSOR Project about if RSPO certification has an impact on Smallholders' decisions to expand or intensify production. #RSPO #rt16 #scienceimpacts

Well done Dr Jen Lucey on her fascinating article in The Guardian on the importance of Knowledge Exchange and working with the Palm Oil Industry to promote conservation of biodiversity. #scienceimpacts #scienceforpolicy SEARRP Natural Environment Research Council theguardian.com/education/2019…

At 4pm today our SEnSOR researcher Sarah Scriven will be giving a talk DICE Kent about our work on improving biodiversity and connectivity in oil palm landscapes. Do go along if you’re free! Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil SEARRP Matthew Struebig #sustainablepalmoil #oilpalmresearch #tropicalecology

In China, we’ve made been making great strides with a strong increase in the number of #supplychain certified facilities there: 40% to be exact.” Darrel Webber #RT15 #RSPOImpacts

Darrel Webber The reality is - the biggest wins will not come from the “already good, becoming better”. It will come from the worst, raising their game.” Darrel Webber #RT15

“We should allow stakeholders to be the owners of change” Darrel Webber #RT15 #sustainable #palmoil #conservation

Datuk Darrel Webber welcome address at #RT15 "Changing behaviour of the masses is difficult. A nudge just makes it easier for people to do the right thing, but we are committed to trying. "

.Sarah Scriven presents impacts of #RSPO membership on avoiding #biodiversity losses, by looking at the role of High Conservation Value #RT15 HCV Network SEARRP

Forest patches with a core area of >200 ha could support 60-70% of #biodiversity in continuous #forest Sarah Scriven #RT15 SEARRP

Interesting researching being presented by Sarah Scriven looking at #HCV areas digitisation From RSPO NPP asesssment reports #RT15

HCV areas have greatest impacts in highly fragmented areas Sarah Scriven SEARRP #RT15 HCV Network

Looking at HCV area size and quality, raises the question 'are #HCV areas large enough and of good enough quality to support #biodiversity?' #RT15

#HCV areas have the potential to improve connectivity if reforested - up to 2.7x better connected for some #species Sarah Scriven #conservation #RT15

Dr Sarah Scriven presenting her work for the SEnSOR Project on the impact of #RSPO membership on avoiding losses in oil palm landscapes. #RT15

Dr Sarah Scriven #RSPO recommendations-to minimise bioD losses in oil palm landscapes, high quality HCVs should be restored & digitised maps of HCVs should be made publically available to provide opportunities for connectivity to adjacent plantations

So excited to be part of this #sciencepolicy exchange on #riparianreserves with the Sabah State government HMTF LOMBOK & SEARRP x.com/HMTF_LOMBOK/st…
