1/6 #DICECON22 #LandSea1 Developing a framework to improve global estimates of conservation area coverage A 100 nations have committed to conserve 30% of the planet by 2030. But this is very contentious: some groups criticise the target as too high; others call for 50% by 2050.

1) How do we identify species that best represent mammal biodiversity? Do #flagships perform better than others? #ConEffect Here's a sneak peek of our study with Noviar Andayani, Marsya C. Sibarani, Adhi N, Yosia G, Eka R, Joe W Bull, Nick Deere, Matthew Struebig! #DICECON22

1/6 #DICECON22 Hello👋 I am an MSc student DICE Kent and my research uses statistical matching to determine the effectiveness of protected areas (PAs) in reducing #deforestation and alleviating #poverty in Kalimantan, Indonesia. #ConEffect #idoimpact #teamcounterfactual

1/ 👋 I'm Marianne, an MSc student at DICE Kent! With 📈 rates of biodiversity loss and the limited resources available to conservation, we're in need of programs that have a great likelihood of success🙏 in conserving biodiversity before it's too late!⌛️ #DICECON22 #ConEffect

(1/6) 🏝️Island biodiversity is⬇️at an unprecedented rate due to habitat loss, over-exploitation, invasive species & climate change☀️. These human-induced threats have altered ecosystem processes, causing numerous species to go extinct. #DICECON22 #ConEffect

#DICECON2022 #WlifeTrade 1/6 I am using trade 💵 in marine aquarium tropical fish 🐠(MATF) to determine if wildlife trade monitoring protocols 💻record species-level information for high-volume specimens. Globally, the aquarium trade is a multi-billion USD market. 💸💸💸

1/6 Coming to you live from the US, I'm partnering with WWF Laos for my MSc & today I'll be highlighting species availability in wildlife markets & Illegal Wlife Trade (IWT) in Laos before and during the Covid19 pandemic. Supervisor @DrDavidLRoberts #DICECON22 #WlifeTrade

So interesting!
