New on global conservation science: Linking biological science & policy has challenges. Protected areas can be communicated more easily than genetic diversity but relate to biodiversity outcomes indirectly. Carroll et al. Conservation Biology doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1…

New on European conservation science: 🪱s are ecosystem engineers. In Europe, species richness is highest in central western Europe & lowest in northeastern Europe. Protected areas don't cover the species' distributions well. Zeiss et al. Conservation Biology doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1…

In this #recentlypublished article, Cravens et al share that deciding to resist, accept, or direct means grappling with the dynamic social factors that shape whether choices are considered feasible.🌿 Learn more at doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1… #conservation #science

New #socialscience from WCS shows that community engagement and capacity building work can markedly improve local perceptions of #fisheries governance capacity, restrictions, and management rules. newsroom.wcs.org/News-Releases/…

#NACCB2024 Recap ✨"If we take care of the land, the land will take care of us." In our final plenary co-hosted with the IISAAK OLAM Foundation, Indigenous leaders shared stories illustrating their effective approaches to care for lands, waters, ice, and all life and species.

In this article, Izquierdo-Tort et al explore local perceptions and drivers of engagement in #biodiversity monitoring among participants in payments for #ecosystem services schemes in southeastern #Mexico.🌿 Learn more at doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1… #conservation #science

New on global conservation science: Elements of successful decision-making: set measurable objectives, list assumptions and consider constraints, uncertainty & trade-offs. <1/2 of published conservation examples include all. Beher et al. Conservation Science and Practice doi.org/10.1111/csp2.1…

You've found your #Niche with #ConservationBiology, but what does the word Niche mean? 🌿 #wordoftheweek #conservation #science #stem #stemwords

#Niche-based measures of impacts on #biodiversity after major disturbance events provide more nuanced insights than geographic measures alone.🌿 Learn more in Sopniewski et al at doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1… #conservation #science #wordoftheweek

Clairbaux et al shared that #communityengagement can fill gaps in #Arcticseabird monitoring and improve the ecological representativeness of the monitoring network. 🦅Learn more at doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1… #conservation #science

Thinking of ways to help your local #amphibians?🐸 Moor et al share that #ponds built for #amphibianconservation should have ≥100 m2 of water, be temporary, be located in open land, and be situated within 0.5 km of ≥2 existing populations. doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1… #conservation

In this #recentlypublished paper, Chen et al discussed establishing a #protectedarea network and shared that harnessing other effective area-based #conservation measures effectively augments #biodiversity conservation capacity.🌿 doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1…

Brown et al found that  land system simulations reveal areas of 0.5–2.7 million hectares may be available for #rewilding in #GreatBritain by 2080.🌿🇬🇧🐾 Learn more at doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1… #conservation #science #UK #UnitedKingdom

In this article, Tonos et al share that though #lemurs are under substantial #extinction threat, data gaps prevent assessment of the impact of #lemur loss on plant communities.🐒🌿 Learn more at doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1… #conservation #science
