Awesome new paper by @fsuarezca unravelling how to design cities for birds that people love to see and hear!
🌍🌿How does urbanization shape the beauty of #nature? Our latest study reveals that landscape changes can diminish the charm of birdlife (favours larger, less colorful & melodious species), impacting how we connect with nature🐦🎶 #conservation 🔗doi.org/10.1007/s10980…
Commitments to amend NSW biodiversity conservation laws by @PennySharpemlc and @ChrisMinnsMP welcome but still a long way to go to achieve an end to deforestation and get the state on track towards nature positive.
NSW biodiversity conservation laws are getting an overhaul. New commitments by @PennySharpemlc @ChrisMinnsMP address many major issues enabling ongoing nature loss in NSW, such as the biodiversity offsets scheme - but there are still significant gaps, such as inadequate action…
Excellent new article on collaborative pest management networks by @GCS_Lab member Nisa Abeysinghe! Finds stakeholders are most likely to collaborate with stakeholders similar to them thus reducing diversity.
