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
The value of shifting cultivation: https://t.co/g3csNMmwgj
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.
#CONVIVA#policybriefs week! Today we can share our first policy brief of four: it introduces #ConvivialConservation, a novel approach to protecting biodiversity built on #coexistence, (cultural and bio)diversity and #justice. (1/)

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…
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
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.

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.
Is it feasible to reconcile rubber expansion with biodiversity conservation? Read our latest paper exploring this question @CurrentBiology! @RubberPlatform@ElliWoTo https://t.co/SRqUISENBy
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
