So proud of our very own @KristyFerraro for winning the Bormann Prize! Her work examines how plant-fungal associations can mitigate the impact of calving animals in nitrogen cycles. Read all about it below:

How can conservationists rewild the carbon cycle?
📣🌳🔄
This paper provides considerations to design and monitor such programs, and to weigh social-ecological trade-offs.

🌿🐾 New research shows that bringing animals into ecosystems saves species and fights climate change by capturing and storing carbon. But, as we offer in our newest paper with @PaN_BES, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. #rewilding #climatechange

New paper from this newly minted doctor!

It seems everyone is excited about the potential of Rewilding, and we are, too! So, we dove into all the complex contextual dependencies that matter when Rewilding for climate change. (1/3) @PaN_BES

🚨It's happening!!🚨

I'm defending my dissertation on February 7th at 1pm. The first hour is a public lecture, so if you want to tune in to hear me talk about deer, nutrients, and northern ecosystems, let me know, and I'll send you the link!

Fostering human–wildlife #coexistence necessitates a thorough and nuanced grasp of local attitudes toward #wildlife.🐾 In this article, Gao et al discuss contextualizing sociodemographic differences in Tibetan attitudes toward large #carnivores.🐺 https://t.co/zxCxjFOPjd

Our fearless leader, Os Schmitz, spoke with BBC Future about research into how animal rewilding could be an important solution to tackling climate change. Thank you @BBC_Future, for highlighting this work! 🐺

@KristyFerraro and @NathalieRSommer, along with @azandisarietta and @aferraro12, wrote about the importance of individuals and the use of anthropomorphism in conservation science. Featured in @ConBiology https://t.co/wBg9ql0M5J

[Marc Bekoff @MarcBekoff]

Conservation Science Must Value Individuals and Anthropomorphism

Individuals can have huge ecological impacts and conservation implications.
Research shows that the careful use of anthropomorphism can help animals rather than harm them.
