Total megafauna abundance, biomass, and energy turnover decreased by 92โ€“95% over the past 50,000 years, implying major human-driven ecosystem restructuring at a global scale! Thatโ€™s a striking finding by Juraj Bergman, Jens Svenning and team nature.com/articles/s4146โ€ฆ

We are excited about the new research coming from Crowther Lab ! The study suggests that biodiversity accounts for about 50% of forest productivity. Plus, conservation/restoration initiatives that protect #biodiversity & prioritise IPLCs have the greatest Carbon impacts!

Finally, appreciation for the importance of natural forest protection seems to have ripened at COP this year. We have always depended on nature for our survival. Now we also need them to help stabilise our climate. We need emissions cuts AND nature! nature4climate.org/nature-positivโ€ฆ

At every instant, somewhere is the most beautiful place on earth. For a few moments today I think Zurich could have made that claim.

Easy highlight of #COP was meeting these guys from Sebrae, who are the stewards of a massive region of Brazilian rainforest. They loved discovering others like them on @restor_eco. They have saved their project on restor.eco so go find and fund them ASAP!โ€

Hi from #COP28! ๐Ÿ‘‹ Thomas Crowther just spoke at NatureFinance's event, discussing how #biodiversity credits can contribute to #climate & #nature equitably. A highlight was meeting SEBRAE, stewards of a massive region of Brazilian rainforest & exploring @Restor_Eco with them!

ChatGPT can be such a powerful tool for so many parts of the scientific process. But only if we use it correctly! Check out our guiding principles for how to get it right: lnkd.in/dJpf8-up
