How can we evaluate the social impacts of large, area-based conservation measures while respecting variation in local definitions of wealth and well-being? Our paper in NatureSustainability tackles this problem for Tanzania's Wildlife Management Areas: doi.org/10.1038/s41893…

It's much better to have outcome targets for #biodiversity (eg naturepositive.org) than coverage targets like #30x30 or "40% forest cover in any given landscape". Otherwise you get perverse #ecological outcomes, cost inefficiencies and social losses onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Hugest congratulations to Melanie Ryan on her appointment as Director of the Luc Hoffmann Institute. Makorokoto!

Cometh the hour, cometh the man. 👍

A fitting tribute to the late Georgina Mace who was always exploring the frontier of what it will take to deliver a biodiverse world....

To deliver the post-2020 framework, we need to be able to quantify and add up potential contributions to biodiversity conservation. Enabling effective conservation action would in turn improve human well-being, prosperity and health. ow.ly/Ln4x50Edlso Newcastle University IUCN

Nice work Anna👍

What are #ICCAs #TerritoriesofLife? They have 3 characteristics: 🌄A close, deep connection between a territory/area and its custodians 🌼Custodians make and enforce decisions on the territory/area 🌱Decisions lead to the conservation of nature ow.ly/ytjT50EK3Ox

We are one of the longest-standing, most highly-cited of the interdisciplinary environmental science journals... Link in bio! 😉 #AcademicTwitter #Environment #Conservation How it started: How it’s going:

The 'Living Planet Project' is a fantastic database: livingplanetindex.org You find data on how 4807 species in 27695 populations developed over the past years. If you are interested in the living world around us, this is very much worth having a look on a Sunday afternoon.

Call me jaded. But, I have no interest-or trust-in any new #ClimatePledge by any country. None. The museum of dishonest-and-unfulfilled-climate-promises is already full and overflowing. Please don’t add any more at #COP26. Just fulfill the promises already made. Else, shut up!

Dozens of businesses, from adidas to Unilever, join States, civil society organizations, UN agencies, and individuals all over the world in calling for the UN Human Rights Council to recognize the human right to a healthy environment. #TheTimeIsNow bteam.org/our-thinking/n…

Check out Bill Adams' blog article on Strange Natures, the book about synthetic biology and conservation that he has written with Kent Redford. The blog, and the book, are fascinating and highly recommended. thinkinglikeahuman.com/2021/11/10/str…

Territories and areas conserved by indigenous peoples and local communities are called #ICCAs or #TerritoriesOfLife. But an ICCA can also meet the definition of a #ProtectedArea or #OECM, depending on the site's objectives, and the wishes of its custodians

I’m happy to raise a glass to both Marshall and Ivan. Legends. Friends. Much missed by the whole CBNRM community 🍷🍷

Terrible news - Gustavo RIP

Using data to inform decisions (adaptive management) is a great idea...but it won’t happen unless decision-makers buy in to the idea. Our recent paper suggests biodiversity managers may feel the effort of data-based management outweighs the benefit. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Remarkable World Rowing Championships in Belgrade has come to an end. WWF is proud to be a global partner of World Rowing to drive awareness of the world's water crisis and inspire action Congrats to all the world's greatest rowers who wore the🐼 on their sleeves
