Our commentary is just out in the journal #Science! Basically, the new and still-under-revision EU #Deforestation law falls short on emerging crops such as #cashew, which can cause immense loss of forest and #biodiversity. photo: De Rouvroy/Nitidae, 2021 bit.ly/3j7BUpN

The Namba Forest in Angola - representing almost all of the Afromontane forest in the country - is critically threatened by fires. BI's Luke L. Powell was part of a team of biologists who recently explored Namba to understand the threats and fauna. news.mongabay.com/2023/05/fires-…

New publication fresh from the oven! BI collaborators from our cacao project investigated the impact of cacao management on bats. Check the 🧵 bellow for a nice summary and to have access to the link for the open access article 🍫🦇👇

Great thread outlining the fascinating findings on new research about bats using cacao (aka chocolate! 🍫) plantations. Bats play a crucial role in suppressing some insects populations that can damage the crop. The way plantations are managed can influence this.
