🚨New paper alert led by @imperial_pigeon !!🚨
We find that establishment of safeguards reduced forest loss in only 45% of the protected areas analyzed across Southeast Asia! Can carbon markets improve protected areas?

Our study is out in @Nature! This was a big piece of work compiling data on global conservation actions. Headline? 58% of the world's threatened species are seemingly neglected by conservation efforts... @durham_uni @PrincetonSPIA @Princeton @Yale_BGC

Thanks for your interest everyone. DMs should be open already! I might take a while to respond :)

I'm obligated to use this terrible website to boost the altmetrics for our 🎉NEW PAPER IN PNAS🎉

We estimated the number of species that have gone extinct in Singapore, including those that went extinct before we had a chance to discover them.

What's the potential for global abandoned cropland to sequester CO2 and produce additional food? How to balance the trade-offs between these two options?

Another class and another guest lecture by my labbies! Thanks so much @yiwen1987 ! All your examples were very applicable like how many hours of mugging leads to higher grades😂 #lsm4260 #phytoplanktonecology #statistics #ecology

🚨Job opportunity alert!🚨 We're looking for a remote sensing expert to join @NUSCNCS. Among other things, this role will aim to map aspects of forest structure across Southeast Asia! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. https://t.co/YbfsSGroOb

Late but great news! New paper led by @Yiwen1987 & @RebeccaASenior in @ScienceAdvances on the need to safeguard & bolster the protected areas we already have in order to conserve biodiversity, *in addition to* (not simply relying on) creating new parks. https://t.co/7NMAZPsW6E 1/

[Zeng Yiwen @yiwen1987]

@LynetteLoke @Nature Congrats Lynette! Awesome paper!

[Zeng Yiwen @yiwen1987]

Sightly delayed, but wanted to thank
@cheryltans again for covering our work! It's such a lovely article (in @straits_times)! The full article is here if anyone's curious: https://t.co/4uzbysNNiV

@lromancarrasco Thanks @lromancarrasco :)

[Zeng Yiwen @yiwen1987]

🚨Another new paper alert🚨 Excited that our paper on #ProtectedAreas is out! We show park expansion is not enough if we don't safeguard the ones we already have! #bonus: we don't need much land to protect the most vulnerable species! #BiodiversityCrisis https://t.co/lpwv5i5dBj

[Zeng Yiwen @yiwen1987]

@ForestsMatter Thanks @ForestsMatter :)

[Zeng Yiwen @yiwen1987]

Massive thanks to my co-authors @RebeccaASenior David Wilcove and @_chrisLcrawford (and of course all the rest of the Drongos as well). This really would not have happened without you all!

Strategically expanding and strengthening wildlife park networks across just 1% of the world’s land area could preserve irreplaceable habitats of 1191 species that are particularly vulnerable to extinction, according to new research. https://t.co/DDCSZiLHQn @yiwen1987

A quasi-experimental impact evaluation quantifies reduced forest loss, avoided social cost of emissions and potential carbon-offset revenue associated with India’s designation of protected areas as tiger-conservation reserves with enhanced protection.

🚨New paper alert🚨 Super stoked to have our paper about the #climate benefits of India's #tiger conservation out in @NatureEcoEvo! Super proud of @aakash_lamba's work, and brilliant use of counterfactuals. #ClimateCrisis #BiodiversityCrisis

A major takeaway from our new study is that evaluation of the underlying #mechanisms to #impact (or those expected to deliver impact) is crucial to uncover causal paths that need rethinking and adapting
