1/ (Another) New Paper Alert 📢

How well do #IndigenousLands and #ProtectedAreas maintain #ForestIntegrity across the #Tropics? And given long human-use influence in tropical forests, how are these areas associated with land-use intensity?

New paper alert!We show how the mosaic landscapes in traditional shifting cultivation help sustain both #biodiversity & #carbon stocks in #Nagaland.Thanks to @LansothungLotha,it comes with a #Nagamese abstract too! #jhum

[Grantham Centre @granthamcsf]

Our @jocelynesze @ScienceShef has done research that shows #Indigenous lands are generally good for conservation.

In this interview she talks about that, and how colonial thinking can hinder local peoples from managing their land.

NEW PAPER out in @EcographyJourna from my work @DICE_Kent. We show forest conversion in Wallacea causes replacement of endemic species by a cohort of shared ubiquitous species with potential negative consequences for ecosystem resilience. https://t.co/9izmMpM9tR RTs appreciated.

Very excited to announce that my first PhD chapter is now published! The paper in @Ecol_Evol, in collaboration with @ConservationOrg, determines the overall effect of removing problematic climbing plants from degraded tropical forests using meta-analytic techniques…

[Oscar Morton @OMorton212]

New paper "Mixed protection of threatened species traded under CITES" where we look at the legal international trade in vertebrates to answer questions on patterns of threat in trade. A thread... 1/n https://t.co/lTvXMDkcUz

[Grantham Centre @granthamcsf]

Despite a lack of data, some think a ban on #wildlife trade would benefit the environment and #biodiversity.

However, bans could be terrible - for people and ecosystems.

Find out more in this interview with @OMorton212 (@aps @sheffielduni).

💡770 million people lack access to adequate electricity.
But how can we empower them without increasing emissions? Grantham Scholar @reenasayani @SSoA_news thinks solar mini-grids might be the answer⚡️

What do people do when they leave the Grantham Centre? Well, @CDyngeland (from @sheffieldgeog & @SheffieldAPS) continued work on sustainability & social protection - producing one of the biggest studies in this area. We caught up with her to learn more. https://t.co/92yvyxHN4R

'I am especially interested in how ideas rise on the government agenda and gain attention from policy makers – and why they sometimes slip away.'

Did you see this interview with @mateko3? A must-read for anyone hoping to influence policy in the UK.

[Grantham Centre @granthamcsf]

Great to see research by @sheffieldplants & Grantham Scholar @_felixlim on green alternatives for sheep farmers in the Conversation.

Thanks to @GeorgeMonbiot for highlighting it.

help pls: what's a simple but effective method to test the strength of multiple spatial variables in explaining land use change (binary response)? so many methods, some publications account for spatial autocorrelation, some don't #spatial #statstwitter #rstats
