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? Link here: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

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: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

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. grantham.sheffield.ac.uk/indigenous-lan…

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. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ec… RTs appreciated.
