#DICECON22 Hi everyone, I’m Annette Lanjouw, your chair for this session of #DICECON22 on Biodiversity & Wellbeing, Session on Conservation Effectiveness #ConEffect. Coming up we have talks from Ardiantiono Sophie Jago @Marianneagl @Shannonlf24 We will start at 10:45.

#DICECON22 Hi there! I’m Annette Lanjouw, Here we are at #DICECON22 : Session on Conservation Effectiveness #ConEffect. We have fabulous presentations from Ardiantiono Sophie Jago Faye @Marianneagl @Shannonlf24 Excited to host this fantastic session - #ConEffect

1st up we have @Ardiantono on identifying surrogate species for mammal biodiversity in tropical forests Take it away Ardiantiono!* #DICECON22

5) Flagships(🐯🦏) performed poorly as surrogates for mammals! Instead, top surrogates were wide-ranging clouded leopard, dhole, pangolin, and sambar deer 🤩 Some species had⬆️correlation with specific metrics e.g. lowland deer best indicates PD #DICECON22 #ConEffect

thank you Ardiantiono for this excellent presentation. Interesting food for thought, given the strong emphasis on flagship species conservation! #DICECON22

Next up at #DICECON22 we have Sophie Jago on Assessing the effectiveness of protected areas in reducing deforestation and alleviating poverty in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Important to understand the conservation-development linkages!

4/6 #DICECON22 From 2005-2018, PAs in Kalimantan had on average 2.4 times less deforestation👏and 3.4 times greater alleviation of poverty👏compared with control areas outside PAs, however, overall wins for poverty did not mean wins for every dimension of poverty… #ConEffect

5/6 #DICECON22 Each poverty dimension showed improvements around PAs compared to further away except for environment (pollution & natural disasters). This could be linked to increased pressure around PAs from other industries accelerating environmental decline in PAs. #ConEffect

Thank you Sophie Jago for this fabulous, and encouraging, presentation. Lots of questions about how to measure poverty and wellbeing that I'd love to follow up on! Great food for thought. #dicecon22

Next up at #DICECON22 we have Faye who will talk about the sustainability of Eurasian Lynx Reintroduction, which ties in well with Claire Stewart presentation earlier this morning. Let's hear it, Faye!

thank you Faye for your presentation and I will be very interested to see the results of your Masters! #DICECON22

Next up at #DICECON22 we have Marianne Lee who will talk about the different factors that will influence success or failure of conservation programmes. These are important factors in considering any conservation intervention....I'm looking forward to seeing your tweets!

DICE Kent 4/ 8️⃣ key factors emerged as influencing conservation program 🏆or👎. Stakeholder involvement 🤝, political will 🏢, & sustainable financing 💰 all made it to the list (no surprises there!). BUT, here's where it gets interesting! #DICECON22 #ConEffect

Apologies to Faye who is in her 1st year PhD rather than Masters!! Good luck with it all!! #DICECON22

Thank you Marianne (Marianne Lee) for your thoughts and urging to apply deeper analysis and learning in conservation interventions. Lots to discuss! #DICECON22

And finally we have @Shannonlf24 at #DICECON22 to talk about effective island conservation using the Conservation Excellence Model (CEM). Looking forward to hearing all about it, Shannon. #DICECON22

Thank you @Shannonlf24 ! Important to understand given the high levels of endemicity on islands. #DICECON22

That's all for now from #ConEffect but we have more presentations coming up shortly after our 1 hour lunch break. Hope to see you all at 13:00 BST on the dot for more exciting presentations. Fantastic work! thank you. Annette Lanjouw
