If you're free tomorrow (Tuesday 22nd, 12.30-14.30 BST), I'm running an online workshop exploring the impacts of #paludiculture on the natural environment. There's still a few spaces left. If you would like to join the discussion, sign up here: paludiculture.org.uk/event-details/…

End of the 2nd week of the #InvaPact II Workshop, a flood of ideas, food for thought, great scientific and social interactions with new colleagues from around the 🌏, and a program that continues to progress! Next! 😄

Brilliantly led by @T_A_Worthington, @Yasmine_Gatt and @RowanaWalton - well done for corralling such a huge group of co-authors 😁

Introducing The Mangrove Restoration Tracker Tool: meeting local practitioner needs and tracking progress toward global targets 🌴🌊🐠🎣🐦🐚🦠💰 Paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.onee… Tool: mrtt.globalmangrovewatch.org/auth/login (Needs registration, but it's quick + free!) Image: Pat Josse/Pixabay

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 🤩).

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. ➡️ doi.org/10.1111/csp2.1… TLDR: Practical action + policy change + research. Supported by CC mitigtion. Need investment, coordination, large-scale thinking.

Japan has been collecting data on the date of peak cherry tree blossom since 812 See if you can spot climate change...
