[New Paper] One's connection to nature is predicted by family values, social norms and personal experiences of nature (not just personal experiences of nature alone, as is the common narrative!) doi.org/10.1016/j.gecc… 🥳🥳another PhD chapter out of the door! Tschüss!

Urban park #soundscapes with lots of perceived #bird sounds can offer increased potential for psychological restoration. However, increasing perceptions of traffic noise can confound the beneficial effects.

22 Jun: Roman Carrasco of Natural Capital Singapore will be speaking with Prof Michael Batty (UCL) and Josef Hargrave (ARUP) on planning for resilient and adaptable cities, to achieve liveability, resource circularity and a healthy environment mnd.gov.sg/urbansustainab…

A preference study on urban greenspace in Singapore can be used to plan new park locations. Different locations emerge depending on preferences for heat mitigation, air pollution removal, etc. Nice work by Yanyun Yan #esp21eu

It's my pleasure to join #ESP21EU and won the 3rd prize in the poster presentation. Thank you very much Ecosystem Services Partnership and all our teams' support Natural Capital Singapore #CarrascoBioeconLab

Excited that our paper is finally out! Find out how telecoupled #EnvironmentalImpacts are embedded within the #SDGs, and what we can do to improve #equitability here: doi.org/10.1002/sd.2229 Many thanks to Roman Carrasco Rebecca Runting & James Watson for all the help and support!

Nice to share some updates from our MOE Tier 2 research project on tropical peatland restoration in Southeast Asia 🌱 recorded talk and Q&A here! Thanks to the Inst. Water Policy Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy for hosting and Roman Carrasco for moderating the session! fb.watch/7p-LSOJVSr

So happy to see this Cambridge Conservation Initiative collaboration with so many great people out in NatureEcoEvo! We use the IUCN Red List data to map the probability of impact from the most significant threats to terrestrial amphibians, bids, and mammals globally: doi.org/10.1038/s41559… (1/9)

Congrats @Chiachen2015! Amazing to see genetics play a role in nature behaviour

IN FOCUS: Will changing what we eat help save the planet? channelnewsasia.com/singapore/food…

Our new paper suggests a need to employ a dynamic valuation of ecosystem services (ES) that can incorporate the adaptive behavior of ES beneficiaries to better support sustainable urban planning Wanggi Jaung Dan Richards Roman Carrasco Natural Capital Singapore authors.elsevier.com/a/1fhPr3HVLKog…

We have two interesting 5 min surveys (anonymous) gathering information on consumers’ choice of nuggets (shorturl.at/dejnS) and farmed fish (shorturl.at/bfPR3). Looking for respondents living in Singapore and your help filling out the surveys is greatly appreciated!

Great work by Manjari Jayathilake analyzing Rubberway data from 20k farmers to understand how can rubber be more sustainable, great collaboration with @michelin #openAccess sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

What's the potential for global abandoned cropland to sequester CO2 and produce additional food? How to balance the trade-offs between these two options? Check out our collaborative work in Nature Communications, Alexander Prishchepov He YIN | 殷贺 Zeng Yiwen Lian Pin Koh Tim ha. rdcu.be/dnhsa

Save nature through our daily diet. Our new work shows the biodiversity footprints of 151 popular dishes from around the world: doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Our latest work reconstructs the global spread routes of a cosmopolitan pest, the German cockroach, using population genomic approaches with a global sampling regime. Now available in PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

NEW PAPER: Our global study reveals that Protected Area Downgrading, Downsizing, and Degazettement (PADDD) are not compensated by their determined offsets or even when unrelated new protected areas are considered. Read the open-access paper here: doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1…

NUS conservation scientistshave highlighted substantial gaps in the compensation for lost or downgraded protected areas. These gaps risk undermining global efforts for the protection of biodiversity. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

NEW PAPER: Heatwaves and extreme heat pose unequal global threats. We highlight a 41% rise in heat and 58% in heatwave exposure (2003-2020), impacting billions. Urgent climate action is needed to address these disparities. doi.org/10.1016/j.apge…
