The loss of wetlands, mangroves, and coral reef ecosystems in Colombia would increase the vulnerability of local communities as these systems enable mitigating the effects of climate change.

Data from these findings could foster better pathways to change https://t.co/sa6va2tS1n

#DYK a study in the UK revealed that bird abundance was positively associated with a lower prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress in people via @BirdLife_News

Interacting with wildlife, especially birds, brings forth a positive impact on our mental well-being 🕊️

Approx. 14% of food produced for consumption each year is lost between harvest & wholesale market. #ActNow. Prioritize reduction of food loss & waste. Critical for critical for sustainable food systems; for #ClimateAction; & for equity.

Respectfully @AmandaVincent1 it is highly unlikely that the changes in the live trade, minuscule tiny amounts of biomass has had any measurable change on seahorse populations that are globally threatened by trawling, habitats losses, and dried medicinal uses in China…

I’m editing a special issue in this exciting new journal designed to take your or your institutions cash and publish your junk. Seems so much simpler than other Frontiers or MDPI options.

Good middle managers matter a lot!

Who the plant manager is in car factory explains more of the productivity difference between plants than who the CEO of the company is. Replacing a bottom quartile manager with a top quartile one decreases hours needed to build a car by 30%.

New paper. Identifying species likely threatened by international trade on the @IUCNRedList can inform CITES trade measures. Currently a pre-print (so provisional & not yet peer-reviewed), but available here https://t.co/41XV3uJPFr. A🧵1/n. @CITESat50 @TrishCremona @MrsRachHoff

[Dan Challender @DanChallender]

There have been various attempts to quantify the prevalence of threat to species from overexploitation for use and trade in recent years, including a recent comprehensive assessment by @SEMmarsh and colleagues using @IUCNRedList data https://t.co/9yvbsSzbH8 2/n

In March, @UN🇺🇳 member states were criticised by scientists & environmentalists for failing to agree on a blueprint for protecting the #HighSeas🌊.

Of the 64% of the seas that lie beyond territorial limits, only 1.2% is currently protected.
