Protected Areas generate a huge amount of cultural value; our latest paper (https://t.co/fCwoOzbFbd) uses social media photos and machine learning to map cultural value across the length of Brazil's iconic coastline.

Here in PNAS we show that Amazonian sustainable-use protected areas catalyze many co-benefits resulting in dramatic improvements in local resident welfare well beyond biodiversity protection. Led by

Binge-watching, baking, and birding - In a new paper @ESAFrontiers we show (using #culturomics) that during the 1st #Covid lockdown people were more interested in common garden birds https://t.co/zrBLbYiQnL @IvanJaric @prjepson @bapinheiro @rahcorreia85 @ana_malhado @LadleRichard

No surprise, interest in urban nature increased when we wee stuck at home... @ResearchGate: https://t.co/pr81V8qZNu

Environmental threats and extreme poverty are deeply intertwined in MPAs in Brazil, and tackling inequalities might be a prerequisite for effective conservation. See our latest study: https://t.co/AcOAxbjpzx

Totally agree with Bill about this. For a slightly different perspective check out our article from 2014: Multilinguismo nas ciências ambientais: Ahora ya! (don't worry... it's in English)

The domination of English as the language of science can hinder some scientists for whom English is not their first language and result in research being ignored. Article discusses some solutions to this important problem including work of @tatsuya_amano https://t.co/0ntcNr2gXM

This was great fun to do. Thanks to @IvanJaric for putting together such a great research team.

I`m giving a webinar today at 15:30 (Portugal Time) on "NATURE CONSERVATION IN THE DIGITAL AGE: CONSERVATION CULTUROMICS AND iECOLOGY". Details here: https://t.co/yCp0CfD39J

I'm looking for three post-docs to work on conservation in Lusophone Africa. Based in Porto.

This is a fantastic read... it's one of the only science books I have ever read in a single sitting.

[Paul Jepson @prjepson]

Delighted to announce the publication of our new book ‘Rewilding: the radical new science of ecological recovery’ with @cain_blythe @iconbooks #rewilding #popularscience Please RT

[People and Nature @PaN_BES]

Check out this paper we published last year using culturomics methods from @LadleRichard and colleagues https://t.co/si9lqa2dnN

Conservation managers need long term data to make good decisions... that's why we need long term ecological research. Check out our ground-breaking project on the 'Coral Coast' in Alagoas.

@LloydCymru A combination of the following:
i. Time-lag between infection and seeking test
ii. Increase in testing
iii. Change in testing (now testing those with milder symptoms)
iv. Transmission among population who cannot self-isolate

Death rate is less prone to bias.

The pandemic has disrupted conservation work and funding, with potential repercussions for years to come, according to conservation groups. But we can seize the opportunity to push for stronger action to protect the natural world.

Recentemente anunciamos em nosso instagram que começaríamos a produzir conteúdo de divulgação científica para crianças também! Pois bem, o grande dia finalmente chegou. Apresento a vocês o Mar à Vista! O desenho do Lacos21 https://t.co/tOHDXZiw6I

@JBiogeography Definitely the latter!

[Biogeography.News @JBiogeography]

Conservation Biogeography — a confusing and redundant discipline or a socially relevant and intellectually adventurous research area? Katinas & Ladle respond to a recent critique by Driscoll et al.

Conservation is complicated and there are no 'silver bullets'. We certainly need to increase reforestation here in Brazil, but as this article shows, doing it badly could be worse than doing nothing.

[Karen Holl @KDHoll5]

Excited to share my paper in Science today explaining that successful tree planting is much more complicated than most people think. https://t.co/DbSkiRGFUK
