It's been a long time coming, but the intro to a special issue on 'Accumulation by Restoration' and political ecologies of repair in @envplane edited by me and @Andrea__CJN is out and free to download. It's all still online first, but find links to all of the articles below 1/8

"putting a dollar value on nature’s carbon sinks and other treasures, cannot be worse than *not valuing them at all*"

I see.

"Tokenizing #Nature" 😶

@NatCapMyth

[Prof. Sian Sullivan ☮️ 🕊️ 🌱 @SianSullivanUK]

Scarcity & #extinction as good financial investment opportunities?

"If it succeeds" - surely chilling words for a species like black #rhino 🦏

Disproportionately happy to find work of mine in *9* footnotes to John Bellamy Foster's recent article on "#Nature as a Mode of Accumulation: #Capitalism and the #Financialization of the Earth"! 😱

.@LJHewitson took time to follow the multiple kinds of practices through which an #elephant may become sold as a huntable commodity, and kindly invited me to co-author this article with him - just published in @journalofpolit1 💚

A thread for you, dear @seasonalight 💚

[Prof. Sian Sullivan ☮️ 🕊️ 🌱 @SianSullivanUK]

1/ The #DasguptaReview on the #Economics of #Biodiversity, commissioned by #UKTreasury, is being launched today.

&, a thread about #valuingnature 🌱

1/ My heart sinks when I see rhetoric about 'valuing #nature' distilled into questions like 'How much is an #elephant worth?' 🐘💲

This is a terribly sad story. Hai||om employees of Etosha National Park in #Namibia, whose histories are bound with the park, face further threats to their homes and incomes within the park due to the tragedy for #conservation-linked #tourism caused by #COVID19
