Did you know eating salmon has an environmental footprint on the land, and chicken has one in the sea? Our new research mapped disturbance, nutrients, freshwater use and greenhouse gas emissions of chicken and salmon production. https://t.co/DGV7TCeDlu

Close your eyes and imagine an Australian politician talking so passionately about an endangered Aussie species. #auspol

[Stuart Butchart @stubutchart]

Governments are negotiating a new Global Biodiversity Framework. Our new paper led by Rike Bolam sets out why we need Target 4 to focus on recovery actions for those threatened species that will go extinct without them https://t.co/nJxGwJmFmj @philipjkmcgowan #BirdLifeScience

💯 @cyclonewatson Labor won't overhaul environment laws until next year. Here are 5 easy wins it could aim for now https://t.co/yB5WR6oEXD via @ConversationEDU

Juvenile male hassling adult female #RedGoshawk in the Northern Territory, November 2021. He would have dispersed by now to make it on his own. Good luck young fella. #WildOz

Excited to be part of this team - finalists for the Eureka Prize! Love working with the many people who were part of this project and am proud of the ongoing collaboration with @wcsfiji.

Planetary ‘safety net’ could halt wildlife loss and slow climate breakdown but must focus on securing Earth's intact ecosystems as a priority https://t.co/OX7kH70VBZ

Humanity relies on the biosphere for its existence. If the biosphere was a ship, it would have have a huge hole in it. The ship is sinking. and @ScottMorrisonMP think its make sense to make the hole bigger. just awesome. https://t.co/l8G5UddH8l

[Piero Visconti @pvisconbio]

I will soon advertise a position to join our growing Ecology & Conservation group @IIASAVienna. We are looking x someone interested in either spatial cons. prioritization/land-use planning or in species modelling (occurrence, abundance).Cool projects and great partners. More soon

[Chris MacColl @CMacColl]

An important first paper out from the "bird crew" at @grnfirescience discussing the impact of interpreting sightings for the scientific record with particular ref to rare, data poor species and their conservation status https://t.co/AEHlFw1PxS

[James Watson @cyclonewatson]

#Conservation is often hard and many times just too hard – hence the #biodiversity crisis we face. But sometimes it’s just really easy. Like not eating endangered species. great research @leslieamlwch @CarissaJoyKlein https://t.co/Nxyr19djok

Honestly 'Extinction: The facts' (BBC1 Sunday night) is going to be AMAZING! I've had the privilege of seeing an advance copy and its a conservation scientist's dream programme. Covers the issues with nuance, depth, honesty but also a valuable dose of optimism.

Start the day with a revving up about what we can and must do to save Australia’s #threatenedspecies: @cyclonewatson nails it on @RNBreakfast this am. @UQ_CBCS @UQ_CBCS Government's threatened species plan 'last chance to get it right' https://t.co/KFjYc3aoIR

[James Watson @cyclonewatson]

"i dont like Carpentarian Grasswrens" said no-one, ever. Here is a nice little excuse for a five minute check out during work - https://t.co/V3Lt34IanP awesome to see farmers and miners working together to save a wonderful species

[Laura Sonter @LauraSonter]

Mitigating #climate change is crucial for #biodiversity, but #mining materials to produce #renewable #energy will also threaten species and natural places. Our new paper in @NatureComms maps these new mining threats and shows where #conservation is needed https://t.co/WSWFCpJHzP

[James Watson @cyclonewatson]

It is just so obvious how critical protected areas have become for mammal conservation. Without them, many amazing, charismatic species would be simply doomed. https://t.co/VQ8tPrTFCz #biodiversity

Yet _another_ of our remarkable species added to Australia’s appalling extinction body count #ExtinctionNation #ThreatenedSpecies #ClimateChange
