  9. SUCCESSFUL URBAN INTERVENTION FOR BIODIVERSITY IMPROVEMENT

    🏙️ Over the past two years, Dunedin's city center has become greener and more biodiverse thanks to the installation of street-side planters.

    🐞 This change, though modest, proves popular with a range of insects that have moved in even though the city center remains dominated by gray non-permeable surfaces.

    🌇 This real-world example shows that urban dwellers with limited green spaces can still have a positive impact on urban biodiversity through the use of planters and raised garden beds.

    🪴 The upgrade of Dunedin's George Street comprises three consecutively installed blocks, each with a slightly different theme. The first block is dominated by native plants, the second features more flowering species, and the third has a mixture of both.

  10. Corbu Case Study: Rediscovering the Authentic Spring Season
    The Romanian PRO-Coast member TotalPR presents an insightful case study on Corbu—a rural commune in Constanța County, nestled within the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve. it highlights the balance between tourism and conservation, a model for responsible rural development. #socioecologicalsystems #NBS #stakeholderengagement #citizenscience #behaviouralchange #socialtransformation #biodiversityconservation #ecosystemservices

  11. Exciting News from Slovenia!
    @Pro_Coast partner University of Primorska, has made significant strides in presenting the PRO-Coast project. Their focus on the case study "Strunjan Landscape Park has garnered recognition, as it has been selected as one of the few projects to be showcased at a prestigious Open Science Festival in Ljubljana. #Biodiversity #biodiversityconservation

  12. In addition to losing species, and losing habitat, we are losing genetic diversity. This is important for conservation- just when we are causing the environment to change rapidly we are taking the tools necessary for adaptation away from the other species we share this world with.

    Global meta-analysis shows action is needed to halt genetic diversity loss

    The commentary continues by noting how even basic data (and methods to derive, analyse, and summarise them, I'd add) may be manipulated e.g. by pressing for desired outcomes:

    "Even in the arena of #BiodiversityConservation, there is growing politicization of the #data and political targeting of the scientists producing it. [...] Core #research on #health, #climate, human biology, and biodiversity is being undermined by private foundations, governments, and anti-science ideologues" [3]

  14. Sign up for our Insider Speaker Series webinar on November 16 to learn how parks and partners across the state are working to preserve California’s extraordinary biodiversity. The speakers will share their knowledge on habitat restoration and stewardship for iconic #California species, as well as state parks’ role in California’s 30x30 initiative to conserve 30% of California’s lands and coastal waters by 2030 to support #biodiversity

"We build a dataset for biodiversity conservation and debt restructuring in 67 countries at risk of sovereign debt distress and show that they hold over 22% of global biodiversity priority areas, 82.96% of which are unprotected. Furthermore, we show that for 35 of the 67 countries, using conservative cost estimates, 100% of unprotected biodiversity priority areas could be protected for a fraction of debt..."

  20. Presented at Royal Sussex County Hospital on my (Brighton and Sussex Medical School) work with forest communities in #papuanewguinea co-planning & introducing health services into indigenous-led conservation collaborations: link.springer.com/article/10.1. The tool-kit we developed for combined clinical and rapid anthropological assessments with parallel treatment of urgent cases is available free for wider use ( bmjopen.bmj.com/content/10/10/) & I am always happy to chat with people who may find the methodologies we developed helpful in their own work.

    Thanks go out to my amazing group of interdisciplinary co-investigators from institutions in the UK, PNG, & Czech Republic: Jackie Cassell, Gavin Colthart, Francesca Dem, James Fairhead, Michael Head, Dr Moses Laman, Hayley MacGregor, Vojtech Novotny, Mika Peck, Willie Pomuat, João Inácio, Steve Walker, & Alan J Stewart.

  21. 🚨 Career news 🚨 I'm thrilled to share that I'll join Copenhagen Business School as an Assistant Professor (tenure track) in the new year 🥳 I'm especially grateful for Carlsbergfondet awarding me a Reintegration Fellowship, which made this possible.

    I'm super excited to rejoin excellent colleagues and to hopefully contribute to further developing the research environment in Denmark around #behavioralscience, #climateaction, and #biodiversityconservation🌳
