🚨 New pub alert 🚨 "The risk that locally successful nature conservation may be shifting problems elsewhere can no longer be ignored" science.org/doi/abs/10.112…

"...so often in conservation, we forget that the costs might happen to someone else, someplace else or at a later time," says @uvmvermont prof @bpkfish. Yet, say Fisher and @TaylorHRicketts, these hidden costs are critical to conservation decisions: go.uvm.edu/hblk3

Deforestation can make bednets less effective. Whoah. New findings from Tafesse Estifanos and team at @gundinstitute. These interactions between nature and health are everywhere, as highlighted this week by the #NexusAssessment here at #IPBES11 in Namibia .
Gund Institute for Environment@GundInstitute

Lose too much forest, and the fight against malaria is harder to win. That's the takeaway from new #UVM research. When deforestation rates exceed 50%, bed-nets lose effectiveness against malaria. Read more: go.uvm.edu/ei3s4

📢 New study by former postdoc @TafesseEstifan1 "shows that a widespread malaria-fighting strategy—bed nets—becomes less effective as deforestation rises. The research underscores how important a healthy environment is for human health." Read more 👇 go.uvm.edu/do4np

Thrilled to welcome @carina_mani to the lab! 🎉 Carina's research focuses on the social and economic impacts of conservation policies, aiming for a just transition for nature. At UVM, she'll explore how expanding protected areas affects the agricultural sector and food systems.🌍
