Deforestation (and huge environmental costs) for nothing: nearly half of the areas deforested in Indonesia are not used afterward 👉 pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

I was asked to write a comment for a great new paper by Binbin Li et al. out in Current Biology on protected areas supporting both biodiversity and livelihoods. My comment focuses on this and the challenges of assessing impacts of protection: authors.elsevier.com/a/1jOXk3QW8S6E…

Just published! Our joint ICCS Biogeography Berlin #OXBER project led to a piece in BiolCons on 14 principles for good practice in #participatory #conservation research involving Indigenous peoples & local communities OA for 50 days here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Meget enig. 7-trins karakterskalaen er virkelig problematisk på så mange måder. Lad os få en ny eller endnu bedre få den gamle tilbage!! dr.dk/nyheder/politi…

Aftalen om universitetsreform er kørt af sporet. Tal viser der skæres langt mere i optaget end tilsigtet. Vi opfordrer derfor #dkpol til at gå tilbage til forhandlingsbordet. Samfundet har brug for flere - ikke færre - højtuddannede og eftertragtede kandidater -Lars Sandahl Sørensen

Our new paper in NatureClimate on why the advocacy of wildlife conservation and rewilding as climate mitigation solutions is not a good idea and risks a backlash when the climate benefits are overstated - “resisting the carbonization of animal wildlife. Video explainer below …

Det er sgu vildt! Der er kun forbud mod fiskeri med bundslæbende redskaber på under 5% af #dkhav 😳Det viser analyse vi Danmarks Natur⁩ har lavet med ⁦Tænketanken Hav⁩ og ⁦⁦DKs Fiskeriforening⁩ Der er i den grad brug for store trawlfrie områder #dkpol via.ritzau.dk/pressemeddelel…

Interested to see this report on nature conservation in Denmark ‘More, better & bigger’ will sound very familiar to Brits - the Lawton report

In Science Magazine "India’s tree-planting strategies fall short": science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…. Rather than tree planting, "India should implement policies that protect existing biodiversity, reduce deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions, and allow natural forest regrowth"

A recent study on Latin America's Protected Areas published in PNASNews reveals that addressing funding deficits & socio economic conditions can enhance a PA’s effectiveness in reducing deforestation and protecting biodiversity. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

A lack of crucial data prevents assessment of IUCN #ExtinctionRisk for most species of #MarineFish. @NiLoiseau Nicolas Mouquet &co use #MachineLearning to infer a 12.8% extinction risk for marine fish species, surpassing existing estimates. #PLOSBiology plos.io/4dXJh9O

Copenhagen in September. While a bit more summer has its advantages (as the people on the other side of the canal can testify to) the 28°C today is not normal
