How to translate nature positive commitment into meaningful conservation policies? We outline 4 key steps! 🎺New in @ScienceMagazine: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… co-led with Hannah Thomas, alongside @BrookeWEcology @martine_maron @j_r_rhodes @J_Simmonds_AUS @manammichelle @UQ_CBCS
Excited to share this Nature Geoscience column on #clinopyroxene as #VolcanicCrystalBalls ! Thanks so much to Editor Alison Hunt for the invitation to write for the 'All minerals considered' series 😀 🌋 nature.com/articles/s4156…
We examined approved and proposed projects under federal environment legislation to look at how much koala habitat is being slated for destruction across several industries. ab.co/3TjuFtB
Excited to share our new paper in @IOPenvironment modelling the outcomes of different grazing land management under #ClimateChange in northern Australia. Lots of trade-offs, but some balance is possible between environment and production. @SciMelb @brettabryan @j_r_rhodes
A new research led by Hannah Thomas found that poor compliance and broad exemptions mean land clearing continues apace in northern Australia – despite our laws and pledges. theconversation.com/poor-complianc… via @ConversationEDU
🔬How can #Biodiversity #CitizenScience double as a tool for biodiversity AND human health & wellbeing? Our new paper explores how thoughtfully designed initiatives can unlock these benefits for participants🌍🧠frontiersin.org/journals/envir…
Huge congratulations to @GCS_Lab member @BrookeWEcology and our colleagues @aggwarrior and @MattHHolden for their QLD Tall Poppy Awards. Amazing achievement and so well deserved for your outstanding environmental research. qut.edu.au/news?id=196055.
See our new paper on how to determine when you need to collect more data ... surprisingly, more data often has little value for decisions ... our paper unravels the mystery as to why "Value of Information Analyses" often yield surprising results doi.org/10.1111/2041-2…
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…
