📢Publication alert! How can we diagnose the causes of wild species population decline more quickly and reliably? A new paper by Prof Rhys Green and Prof Jeremy Wilson @RSPBScience suggests a way forward. Read more about it here: bit.ly/43qvzdk @BritishEcolSoc

*Positive news* Despite global declines in biodiversity, we find conservation has driven improvements in >100 species. This suggests with greater resource allocation to more species, conservation can halt and reverse biodiversity loss! First PhD paper: doi.org/10.1371/journa…
