How to keep an open mind:
1. Think like a scientist: treat your opinions as hypotheses and decisions as experiments
2. Embrace confident humility: argue like you’re right, listen like you’re wrong
3. Build a challenge network: seek out people who sharpen your reasoning
@AmyDickman4 ...not sure in what way carbon payments, African Parks,...represent a move towards "African funding" as they are still likely to channel funding from the North (e.g., Europe, North America).
@AmyDickman4 I think a revision of funding for conservation is needed (now more than ever) but... It is unclear to me from the article what constitutes "African funding"/"Western-led" funding? And why is COVID-19 a "wake-up" call in favour of one/against the other? In any case....
Very much needed good news for conservation!
Follow the official launch of the @LL_Fund tomorrow at 16.30 CET- secure, long-term baseline funding for #protectedareas.

We need more holistic measures of progress, yes. But thinking of the living world as "asset", rather than as relative, is exactly what got us into this crisis in the first place. #DasguptaReview
What would different post-COVID economic scenarios mean for #biodiversity#conservation? An interesting reflection on the opportunities and risks of four potential policy responses. #COVIDー19
What could biodiversity conservation look like in different possible post-covid-19 economies? Check out my new paper with Bill Adams and Erik Gomez-Baggethun in @OryxTheJournal#COVIDー19 @cambridge_uccri @CamUniGeography@vitalgeogs https://t.co/Ly3sOogUCC
Many people look back and regret not doing more for others. Few wish they had done less.
In the long run, we measure success not by what we achieve and acquire for ourselves, but by what we contribute to others.

A call to acknowledge divergent regional perspectives on wildlife conservation across African regions, including alternatives to "if it pays, it stays". https://t.co/43gDmxVF9K
Today it’s #1000days that these dedicated conservationists have been imprisoned and oppressed without any wrongdoing. If we held a minute of silence for each day we’d still be here after 16h...
When can they come home?

Our @PCLG_IIED read of the week tests the assumption that monetary benefits can "buy" tolerance by offsetting the disservices of living with #wildlife - finding actually that in #Namibia only nonmonetary benefits explains higher tolerance of some species https://t.co/DAKWH917rY
We call them "advanced economies", but on what grounds can they be considered "advanced" if they fail, systematically, to operate in balance with the living world?
@er_bush@SarobidyRakoto Agree. I wonder to what extent that may be responsible for the reports of local people claiming that crop raidings by elephants did not use to be as common in the past.
