1/6 #SSWGTC21: To protect 🌳🦌, we need to understand what drives uptake of conservation and wildlife management initiatives.
We explored key drivers of adoption through a case study in #Mexico. @UQ_SEES @ImperialCollege @ConservationOrg @SCB_SSWG #catalysingconservation 🧵👇

1/6- A sustainable community project starts by acknowledging that communities know what they need and can lead and curate the future they want. External players can only be enablers of community aspirations

#GeorgeClooney sells us Nespresso pods ☕️, @KimKardashian sells us makeup💄… there is no doubt that famous and attractive people are effective at selling 💵

But who can we use to 'sell' the plight of #threatenedspecies? 🦧

Without immediate action on climate change, the future of the #GreatBarrierReef is grim😭This includes action at individual and community levels…

@MarcoGtez @MorenaMills @AngelaSocSci @Mike_Mascia We found extension support is crucial all along the process, from learning, adopting, implementing and managing

@MarcoGtez @MorenaMills @AngelaSocSci @Mike_Mascia #SSWGTC21 Thanks @MarcoGtez!
Main barriers were bureaucracy, lack of resources and technical/financial advice, and some governance arrangements.

@TAB97001719 @UQ_sees @imperialcollege @ConservationOrg @SCB_SSWG @SEMARNAT_mx #SSWGTC21 Sadly, we didn't work with the communities. All remote/digital work, focused on assessing and exploring the initiative

5/6 #SSWGTC21: We identified key messages for widespread adoption of UMAs by communities.
In general, relationships played an enormous role as they influenced observability, advice’s credibility, willingness to cooperate and trust.
