It's taken a long time and a huge amount of effort, but the First-ever global catalogue of ecosystems has just been published Red List of Ecosystems and will enable coordinated global conservation efforts. global-ecosystems.org portals.iucn.org/library/node/4… iucn.org/news/commissio…

Glad to see this extinction risk analysis of Caribbean mammals *219 populations & 118 islands* now published in Proc B-- thanks to @LabDavalos and ZSL Science's tireless efforts, we learned that being medium-sized is the best predictor of Holocene survival doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2…

Blue carbon projects are about to take off in a big way e360.yale.edu/features/why-t… great article including Steve Crooks Oscar Serrano and highlighting our recent mangrove blue carbon opportunity mapping Zeng Yiwen NUS CNCS

One more PhD chapter published! Here, we mapped mangrove degradation in Rakhine, Myanmar and Shark River, Florida using satellite data. mdpi.com/1120424 Remote Sensing MDPI

I suggest five steps to overcome colonial or "helicopter" science. I hope they will help you create fairer and better science. Australian Rivers Institute leo lymburner FMCN Meaningful collaborations can end ‘helicopter research’ nature.com/articles/d4158…

An interesting interview by The Pew Trusts with Dr. Jurgenne Primavera—a key icon and idol of mangrove conservation for many of us in the world, Southeast Asia in particular. Thank you for all your efforts and knowledge you have developed. AAA. 22.7.2021. bit.ly/3BrVHEu

The State of the World’s Mangroves report is out now! Have questions? Join the livestream with Global Mangrove Alliance on Thursday at 9am UK time to hear about the report and share the knowledge available to turn things around for these critical ecosystems. Join us: youtube.com/channel/UCgp7T…

With heavy heart and extreme sadness I inform all of you that the mangrove world particularly the Malaysian mangrove world, had just lost its most outstanding superstar scientist just now. His legacy will live forever. Rest in peace my dear Professor Ong Jin Eong. AAA. 5.8.2021.

1. First get the HYDROLOGY right. 2. Do not START by planting #mangroves: first find out why mangroves are not there. 3. See if the REASON for mangrove absence can be corrected; if not choose another site. #mangroves #restoration

Whilst we have been entirely focused on catastrophic Supertyphoon Rai (#Odette) in the Philippines (more on that soon), great paper from our Blue Carbon Research Associate Clare Duncan. Odette highlights the urgency to increase #mangrove #regeneration of abandoned coastal lands

Our practical #newpaper to (hopefully!) inform #bluecarbon investments and #mangrove rehabilitation projects, led by Clare Duncan and based on years of experience in the Philippines🇵🇭. Coastal greenbelts SO important! @ExeterMarine ZSL Science Coast 4C ZSLMarine IUCN Mangrove SG

The #OneOceanSummit ends today. Ocean #sustainability is core to fight the #climatecrisis. Thanks to a €1M grant by the AXA Research Fund, 8 scientists have been working to reduce marine #biodiversity loss and preserve the ocean ecosystem. Learn more 👉bit.ly/3Bg39D3

How seahorses are a fish but also so un-fish-like - awesome interview with our board member, founder of Project Seahorse and NatGeo Explorer Heather Koldewey, also covering our value chain for end-of-life fishing nets nationalgeographic.com/animals/articl… via National Geographic.

Polarising plastic? Chaired great panel with @rick7575 Clare Brook Amado Blanco Coast 4C and Karen McVeigh at ZSL Science #systemschange symposium. Conclusion: It’s complicated! Climate change+biodiversity loss biggest issues but plastic pollution can be useful entry point

Our new 'Rewilding our Cities' report led by Nathalie Pettorelli is out! It shows how increased urban #rewilding efforts could boost wildlife and buffer city dwellers from the worst impacts of #ClimateChange: ow.ly/oZWq50KPlRA ZSL Science 📷 Matthew Maran #NatureAtHeart
