Great piece by @HayleySClements @ForceCT & Matthew Child (can't find his X handle) on why the new #biodiversity strategy in South Africa is a positive step forwards for #wildlife and people https://t.co/VZF9verBEW

@laurap18 @bokmassanGbg I mean technically that's against the law 😉https://t.co/ciwwOtDX6q

Probably one of the best places to really build a solid research and teaching profile persuing your interest in a natural resource management field of your choice. Nice campus and great area to live in.

A thread about the newly launched #DynamicWorld landcover dataset by #Google. I had early access and explored this dataset in detail. You may be very excited about this dataset, but likely for the wrong reasons. Sharing some insights, potential use cases, and pitfalls. 1/n

[M D Madhusudan @mdmadhusudan]

A probabilistic landcover dataset with scene-to-scene correspondence with Sentinel 2 that challenges our conventional imagination and approach to landcover mapping, and opens completely new possibilities.

Please take 5 mins to answer this survey, to inform a game farm certification that will contribute to biodiversity conservation and socio-economic development while also supporting a viable, thriving game meat industry in South Africa. https://t.co/iGEeXFbN4t

So stoked to get this month's editors choice award from @JEcology 😁😁 thanks to the editing team for their hard work.

[Megan Meacham @meganmeacham]

Very clear and useful work by @KatjaMalmborg and team! Using ecosystems service bundles to convey complexity and navigating a truly transdisciplinary participatory resilience assessment.

[National Research Foundation of South Africa @NRF_News]

Applications are open for the new NRF-MINDS Doctoral Scholarship 2023. Please follow this link to our website for details, all the info needed to apply is available here: https://t.co/74SiQRAyqq. @MINDSAfrica @dsigovza #AfricaMonth

This is no ordinary whodunit. With the same imagination and attentiveness she brings to her scholarship as an interdisciplinary ecologist, ⁦@HariniNagendra⁩ masterfully recreates period, place and relations from a 1920s Bangalore around Kaveri, her delightful crime-buster.
