Japan, between 1979 and 1989, was responsible for roughly one-third of the global ivory trade. By 2014, it was just 13% of what it was in 1989. An expert explains how this has important implications for conservation. bit.ly/3TQzZ50

I often hear the ivory trade 🐘 in Japan 🇯🇵 used as an example of how demand reduction efforts can turn things around but what does the evidence say? 🤓 Read our thoughts below based on a long time coming paper in Conservation&Society led by @LauraThoWal! theconversation.com/japans-ivory-m…

Our 2nd rice paper OUT!! 🌾🍚 Preference for input/outcome based certificate depends on species 🦆🐟 Congrats Kota!!

🗣 We need a Global #Biodiversity Framework from #COP15 that halts and reverses biodiversity loss. Targets need to be ✅ Specific ✅ Ambitious ✅ Measurable ✅ Time-bound ⬇️ See what I had to say in Saturday’s plenary in Montréal🇨🇦

We have an exciting research assistant position for two years on saiga horn demand reduction in Singapore with a stay in Oxford. Please email me ([email protected]) if interested. Amy Hinsley diogoverissimo.bsky.social

This is true of a lot of causal inference papers in conservation...

Exciting to hear from the experts what a difference their U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funded projects will make to #saiga #conservation

Another great paper for 2023! Definitely need more behavioral interventions linked to invasive species. Great job Takahiro KUBO and colleagues! "nudging visitors toward the cleaning station using foot-stamps placed on the ground had the largest impact" sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Research reveals unintended effects of Japan’s wildlife trade bans on 3 species. Trade in these species dropped but shifted to other vulnerable species, highlighting the importance of consumer research, monitoring and enforcement beyond banned species. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co…
