Does conservation work? Our paper by Re:wild shows that it does: a global analysis of 665 trials (incl. several by RSPB Science) found that conservation improved the state of biodiversity or slowed declines in two-thirds of cases BirdLife Science science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

1/3 In 2019, Professor Belinda Ferrari and colleagues from UNSW Biotechnology & Biomolecular Sciences visited Casey Station in Eastern Antarctica to see whether projections made on soil sampled 14 years earlier about the disappearance of bacteria were correct.

They were saddened to find that they were.

I could cry 😭

The Commonwealth Government has officially paid off the remainder of my HECS debt! Over $15,000 wiped 😭❤️🙏🏻

Today I feel valued. Today I’ve added another reason for our next generation to choose Rural.

Just back from an amazing month with work at # #SouthGeorgia . This is the summit of Stenouse Peak looking down into Cumberland West Bay. When I first came here 23 years ago the fjord was filled by the Neumayer Glacier down as far as the glaciers on the left. #ClimateAction

We see some pretty incredible pictures from expeditioners down south, but these are just breathtaking.

Chef Justin from Mawson station captured these images during a period of particularly high solar activity on 25 March.

If you are working on #Antarctic and/or #SouthernOcean #biodiversity then you should consider submitting to our symposium:

From Antarctica and Southern Ocean to Australia: Current Ecological Research and Conservation Challenges

Securing Antarctica's Environmental Future

🚨New Review!

The Southern Ocean represents a substantial carbon sink.

Boyd et al. describe how expanding observations are providing increasing insight into the contribution of biota to the carbon cycle in the Southern Ocean

There are an estimated 3 million sunken vessels in the ocean, over 8,500 of which are classified as ‘potentially polluting wrecks’.

With leaks expected to reach their highest levels within ten years, what can we do?
