Super excited to receive funding from Turner Kirk Trust to look at how increasing weather variability is affecting encroachment into Nepal's community forests

🧵 5 lessons to level up conservation successfully A new paper in NatureEcoEvo by Thomas Pienkowski and Matt Clark from Centre for Environmental Policy, Imperial teaches us a few critical lessons about effective conservation policy 🌎

NEW paper brilliantly led by Thomas Pienkowski on some of the persistent challenges to deliver effective conservation at scale, with a wonderful group of collaborators.

The call for papers is now open for the biannual International Association for the Study of the Commons next June in Scenic Amherst, Massachusetts. Come join us! 2025.iasc-commons.org

Paper out today in Conservation Science and Practice looking at how local community and remotely sensed observations of forest change can systematically align and deviate with different forms of forest change. doi.org/10.1111/csp2.1…

New #conservation research presents a model that enables accurate forecasting of conservation adoption over time, allowing retrospective evaluation of decisions & investments cell.com/one-earth/full… Matt Clark Thomas Pienkowski A.Jagadish, Carla Archibald S.Gelcich H. Govan R.

🌍 Dr Matt Clark & Olivia Crowe are in South Africa with Conservation SA, meeting ranchers in the Herding for Health project. Exploring regenerative rangeland management, they’ll bring insights to research by Dr Dr Morena Mills's lab & Catalyzing Conservation 🌱

This is going to be such a great resource for anyone interested in the intersection of conservation and human rights, particularly as regards IPLCs. May be of interest to SCB Social Science Working Group ExCiteS

Worked with Dr Morena Mills from Imperial College London to create an identity for Catalyzing Conservation . Where we talk about how conservation efforts can scale! Go follow us if you haven't already :) behance.net/gallery/214289…

1/n New paper relevant to those interested in scaling forest restoration: Spatial predictors of landowners' engagement in the restoration of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (doi.org/10.1002/pan3.1…)

2/n We wanted to know why some landowners in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil – a globally important biodiversity hotspot – choose to restore forests while others do not. Exploring such drivers can help inform more effective and socially equitable restoration scaling strategies.

3/n We combined data from over 220,000 farms and restoration documented by the Atlantic Forest Restoration Pact, drawing on insights from Diffusion of Innovations Theory, in a large spatial analysis.

4/n Landowners with large properties and high cattle densities are more likely to restore. Properties with water bodies or near urban areas are also more likely to be restored. On the other hand, properties in remote, rugged, less populated, and poorer regions were less likely.

5/n These patterns suggest that landowners are influenced by a combination of economic incentives, legal requirements, and support from cons. organizations. Larger landowners with more resources and greater pressure to comply with environmental laws are more likely to restore...

6/n However, smaller landowners and those in poorer areas risk being marginalised from the Atlantic Forest restoration agenda, highlighting the need for more inclusive and equitable restoration strategies.

8/n Check out our plain language summary: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…. Shout out to collaborators, including in the Catalyzing Conservation group (Dr Morena Mills, Matt Clark… ), at the USP - Universidade de São Paulo (Pedro Brancalion…), and the Atlantic Forest Restoration Pact.

Why history matters for conservation, and how to use it. In my opening papers of our Ndumo gaame reserve special issue, I use this case study to make the case for the uses of historical info and data in conservation research, planning & management. doi.org/10.3957/056.05…
