The opacity of academic prose arises from the epistemological imperative to operationalize disciplinary jargon, facilitating intra-specialized discourse while obfuscating heterogenous interpretive accessibility and perpetuating a recursive dialectic of erudition and exclusion.

Led by @OfficialZSL we have developed a conservation strategy for extinct in the wild Mexican Pupfishes (Cyprinodontidae). This strategy seeks to ensure their long-term ex situ conservation, repatriation to Mexico, and reintroduction to springs in the Nuevo León desert.

A huge thank you 🙏 to all 34 interviewees, and to our 'guinea pig' interviewees. Also thank you reviewers and editors (sorry we missed you out of the acknowledgements in the paper; your input was greatly appreciated 🤩).

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

Tree planting and biodiversity offsets give the impression we can just create nature, or replace what we destroy. But we cannot

No technology can create a 500 yr old tree, the only thing that can is 500 yrs

Nature is irreplaceable, and we must treat it as such

#Seabird decines in the news. See our new paper for ideas to help seabirds cope with one major pressure: climate change.

TLDR: Practical action + policy change + research. Supported by CC mitigtion. Need investment, coordination, large-scale thinking.
