There is a clear need to incorporate feedbacks among biodiversity, ecosystem function, and human well-being into our scientific understanding, policy interventions, and social platforms. Check out our suggestions in this paper led by Mary O'Connor: royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…

@EstherTurnhout giving an amazing opening lecture at the #WBF2022 on how #biodiversity #research has to change itself. We need for more co-production,acknowledging power imbalances. She also highlights the illusion of neutrality and risks injustices. World Biodiversity Forum #wbf


The idea that we can have single metrics or indicators is an illusion, when the "measure" gets tied to incentives, it becomes corrupted. We need a plurality of measurements of nature -- @EstherTurnhout World Biodiversity Forum #wbf2022




If you're also looking for ways to dissociate from everything, check out the IBioS University of British Columbia webpage! This group of scholars aims to find solutions to some of the most pressing environmental issues today and I can't wait to leave the US to join in this effort ibios.ubc.ca
