Our paper that came out yesterday found that #forest cover and connectivity increased both inside and outside of protected areas in the region of Costa Rica where I lived for 4 years! Kudos to collaborators @NASA_DEVELOP & @osaconservation https://t.co/TUKyK7rRIw @RemoteSens_MDPI

Food plays a key role in most environmental problems:
🌡 26% of greenhouse gas emissions
🌿 Half of habitable land used for farming
💦 70% global freshwater withdrawals
🌊 78% eutrophication
🐄 94% of mammal biomass (excl. humans) is livestock
🐓 71% of bird biomass is poultry
Scaling tree cover restoration that prioritizes smallholder rights and benefits should be a central concern for those interested in NCS/NBS.
Read why in our recent article.

The largest and most accurate set of simulations done to date project dramatic crop productivity declines for low-latitude staples like corn in the next 10 years & through 2100, @claireasher reports: https://t.co/twrPAZSfru
Excited to share this intro to decision science for conservation practitioners! ”Applying decision science does not have to be complex or time consuming; rather, it begins with knowing how to think through the components of a decision…” #sdmCoP https://t.co/ioUnQK0ZWR
"If we’re going to have a global reforestation program, in which we plant a trillion trees... the most sensible way of doing it is not to go...and plant everywhere, but to stand back as much as we can and let nature do it."--Fred Pearce @mongabay

Indigenous leaders are heading to the #COP26 climate summit where one of the main topics on their agenda will be highlighting community land tenure as an often-overlooked way to mitigate climate change, @Sandra_Cuffe reports: https://t.co/AIwHW5g8XS
Tree-planting schemes are common these days, but natural regeneration — allowing forests to reestablish themselves — is increasingly being recognized as a more cost-effective strategy for meeting ambitious forest restoration targets, @MikeG2001 reports: https://t.co/xYuAEjovYN
