The next International Congress for Conservation Biology #ICCB2025 has just been announced at @ICCB2023 in Rwanda - it will be late June 2025 in Meeanjin/Brisbane Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. Pen that into your calendars conbio.org/conferences/ic…

Nine rangers and ranger teams have received the 2023 @IUCN_WCPA International Ranger Awards. 💚 The awards recognise the outstanding work of protected areas rangers around the world. See all the winners here 👉 bit.ly/3Dt68Ki

Thrilled to have shared the final chapter of my #PhD to @ICCB2023 audience for the first time! I presented a framework we developed to evaluate how to recover threatened #ecosystems and showed how we applied it to a case study. Grateful for the opportunity to be here! #ICCB2023

Awesome to see one of the hardest working scientists I know present his painstaking catalogue of work on #insectconservation & coverage in PAs Shawan Chowdhury (শাওন চৌধুরী) Spolier: only ~25% adequately represented, but large taxonomic and spatial biases still need to be overcome, esp. in tropics

Nearly all Odonata (dragon-/damselflies) assessed for extinction risk by IUCN RL due to use as bioindicators - may explain why freshwater insects buck wider trends of decline ⬇️ Using insects as ecosystem condition indicators may provide multiple cobenefits Lynn Dicks #ICCB2023

A major, 21st century mining boom is happening in rivers across the global tropics. Our new paper in nature documents the mostly unreported rise of mining in 49 countries, in more than 400 districts along 173 rivers. Read here and please share! rdcu.be/dkd9b

1/2 New paper by Graham Prescott Roman Carrasco and colleagues is an impressive and useful analysis of how #biodiversity metrics and frameworks used by businesses align (or, don't align) with the Global Biodiversity Framework,

This is a heartbreaking day for so many across the country who care for nature, and especially for the local people and Traditional Owners who have fought so hard to protect this amazing place, and its wildlife much of which will now die. So much for ‘nature positive’.

In a biodiversity crisis 🇦🇺 Govt has opened the gate for bulldozers to rip up and destroy spectacular habitat at Lee Point🤯 This isn't 'nature positive' as promised by Labor. It's the same nature destruction we saw from the Coalition. We need enviro law reform in this term.

See our new paper on how to determine when you need to collect more data ... surprisingly, more data often has little value for decisions ... our paper unravels the mystery as to why "Value of Information Analyses" often yield surprising results doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…
