If you are at Oxford this Friday and interested in discussing megafauna, do join this seminar. I will be talking on 'megafauna recovery and relevance in India' Biodiversity Network At The University of Oxford biodiversity.ox.ac.uk/events/event/m…

🌿 ECONOVO at Naturmødet 2025! Jens Svenning & Ninad Mungi shared insights on ecosystem management, rewilding & large carnivores. We joined key debates on invasive species & forest restoration. Thanks for helping shape a biodiverse future! 🌍 #Naturmødet




New paper People and Nature: We define Nature-based Solutions and societal adaptations to biological invasions. Solutions must go beyond just removal, particularly at scales with societal trade-offs. We show how to build resilient ecosystems in a globalized world Ninad Mungi Jens Svenning

Alien plant species, introduced by humans directly or indirectly in different geographical regions of the world, are now spreading at an unprecedented pace, reshaping tropical ecosystems globally 🖊️ Himanshu Nitnaware downtoearth.org.in/wildlife-biodi…

Tropical biomes are vulnerable to invasive plants, due to the legacy of historical human influence and ongoing global changes. Here, alien plants are triggering rapid emergence of novel ecosystems ipbes UN Biodiversity FAO Climate Change & Biodiversity IPCC
