This work is available Open Access in @conservationsp and involved quite a few time zones to coordinate! :P conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/cs…

I am a co-author on this new Science Magazine paper led by James Allan. It suggests that achieving conservation targets would require action on 44% of the earth’s land. I have been critical of calls for – #30x30, #HalfEarth etc. So why did I join this study? 3 reasons: 🧵

Great closing comments from Michael John Gorman on museums and science centres encouraging more action, "We tend to think a lot about impactful entrance experiences, perhaps we should focus more on exit experiences - what do we want people to do after leaving us?" #Ecsite2022

GBIF is not enough: national database improves the inventory completeness of Amazonian epiphytes link.springer.com/article/10.100… Evidence that using both global and national databases increases the overall #biodiversity knowledge and reduces inventory gaps, but spatial biases persist

Acknowledging #EcoAnxiety & transmuting it into agency: 'Let's find strength from empathy and connectedness and fight for a world where we take care of ourselves, one another and our shared home.' Wise words from the brilliant Force of Nature (h/t @conorontology) nhm.ac.uk/discover/how-t…
