We are looking for a domestic PhD student to join the Fish Lab at MQ to work on a project funded by the Rec Fishing Trust. Using remote sensing coupled with AI to examine the impacts of provisioning on aquatic animals at fish cleaning facilities.

I have signed it. We have a Masters student here in Oxford who is a member of the Maasai community concerned, and has testified to the violence faced by his own family. #Conservationists we need to stand up and say #NotInOurName

BREAKING: If you're feeling down by the US Supreme Court ruling on regulation of emissions, cheer up with good, amazing news from Brazil: our Supreme Court has just ruled that the Paris Agreement is a human rights treaty. This has enormous implications for future cases. Why? 🧵

I wrote up a gotcha that can get you when designing experiments. It's in the intro of the 2022 Behavioral Economics Guide. Reviewers have described it as "outstanding" and "cracking." I would be happy if you read it! Direct link (PDF pages 7-22): behavioraleconomics.com/download/9697/

Old, high compliance MPAs protect ecological functionality on #coralreefs. The ecology is there. But most of the world's #MPAs are rendered ineffective by noncompliance. Why? The social science and compliance management is NOT yet there.. #ICRS2022

BAM! People for the win! After 18 days of massive blockades & protests, the Gov't of Ecuador & the Indigenous peoples reached an agreement to stop govt plans to increase oil , gas and mining expansion in the Amazon. Big victory for mother earth. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy

• Stupidity: You think you know everything, without questioning. • Intelligence: You question everything you think you know.

Estimates suggest more than 100,000 fishers die every year due to unsafe working conditions, labour abuses, & modern day slavery. The good news is, governments & consumers could push for change. Read Brock Bergseth's (James Cook Uni) research in our report 👀bit.ly/3i62L4M

Great to see @eafulton and her great work being recognized at the #shinedome22. Congratulations Beth!

We all know the Great Barrier Reef is in danger – the UN has just confirmed it. Again. Time to double down on compliance management efforts to protect a world heritage area? theconversation.com/we-all-know-th… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

A pleasure to listen to Cristina Mittermeier @cmittermeier share her stories, her mission, and her challenge to the Canadian government among others to step up with meaningful #mpa action. IMPAC5

"The ocean is our planet's heart. How much of your heart would you want to protect? A third? A half?" The legendary Sylvia Earle continues to share wisdom and remind us that humans are not just the problem, but also the solution IMPAC5 #ocean #mpa #conservation #30x30

We need to ensure global conservation goals like 30x30 don't result in the profileration of paper parks hamstrung by poaching. In our latest paper we show how increasing compliance could more than double ecological benefits & discuss how behavioural sciences can help get us there

How behavioural sciences can be used to address poaching and non-compliance in MPAs - just found a home issue in Fish and Fisheries. Thanks to a great group of coauthors, reviewers and editors for helping this land! doi.org/10.1111/faf.12…

Join us tomorrow at #ICCB2023 for our session on non-compliance! With William Arlidge, Dr Harriet Ibbett, Brock Bergseth, Chris Wilcox and special guests EJ Milner-Gulland and Natalio Godoy

Don't miss this Thomas Pienkowski's talk today #ICCB2023 about conservation projects going to scale. It will be excellent! Thu, 15:15-16:45, AD 4

Biodiversity conversation funders need to reward learning, not story telling, if they want to have impact.
