📢 It's out! The paper by Agustin del Prado Guillermo Pardo and me (BC3 - Basque Centre for Climate Change & GCC Group) at #npjClimAtmosSci npj Journals on emissions in two savannas in northern Tanzania, one dominated by wild herbivores and the other dominated by ruminant livestock. 🧵 (1/9) nature.com/articles/s4161…

Biden said "we lose it all” if we warm beyond 1.5C. Unhelpful rhetoric, unsupported by the science. It's a continuum not a cliff. We've lost much already, and lose more with each fraction of a degree. If we miss the 1.5C exit ramp, we still go for 1.6C exit rather than give up.

Wild herbivores generate greenhouse gas emissions, too, not just domesticated ruminant livestock. This is a great example of how similar emissions between the two can be. Take away: We must include (baseline) emissions from wild herbivores when quantifying livestock emissions.

When I say the grazing/livestock conversation requires nuance, THIS 👏 IS 👏 WHAT 👏 I 👏 MEAN👏 Thank you for articulating this so well.

“Our place in the world is to manage our piece of the world,” Chook Chook Hillman, a Karuk community organizer and cultural practitioner, told NOVA. "That's part of the reciprocity that has allowed us to live here for so long.” pbs.org/wgbh/nova/arti…

Excellent piece on the coloniality of (militarized) conservation in #Congo and beyond with wise words from @AbySene9 and my former colleague Mathew Bukhi Mabele

This is an important piece and I’m glad it’s making the rounds, but it’s essential to add this caveat: DEIJ matters not only bc of the way it improves science, but also bc it results in a more equitable/just community that can change people’s lives. science.org/content/blog-p…

Ecological theory and experience tells us that just leaving a heavily degraded ecosystem to natural processes means we will be waiting a long time for nature recovery There is nothing wrong with interventions to set these systems on a path of recovery science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Like most academics, my email is a black hole. Still, I try to respond to all grad student emails regardless if they're at "my" univ or not. But if you email me to pick my brain on Indig research, I will first ask: do you or any of your PhD advisors identify as Indigenous? 1/

I applaud Oxford and Leverhulme for organizing this debate, and I do think it is sorely needed. Unfortunately, a disappointment, albeit an expected one. IMO, the winner of the debate is the audience member who asserts that they are actually in agreement, despite flaws from both.

On July 19th, the Missouri CRCL Projects cover crop incentive payment programs will be available. The project is funded through a new $25 million USDA grant to promote climate-smart practices.

For the next five years, the Missouri CRCL Project is providing $25 million in funding for Missouri farmers. The project has just kicked off the first round of incentive payment programs by promoting cover crop practices.

There can be NO sustainable food systems without livestock. If you haven't thought about agriculture this way, please consider this - It's the production of biomass - the majority of which is NOT edible by humans. Even food crops produce more inedible biomass. As Prof Windisch
