✨Research out today in @OneEarth_CP✨ We show that epidemiological models can accurately infer the mechanism of adoption of conservation initiatives and forecast the trajectory of uptake within populations 👉doi.org/10.1016/j.onee…

Very pleased to share this paper, fantastically led by @hollieboothie - a rare example of an #RCT of incentive-based conservation intervention. I think this paper is a textbook example of why they are valuable: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

📢I am very excited to finally share what feels like the most important paper of my career so far - the world's first randomized controlled trial of #marine #conservation incentives - out now in @ScienceMagazine's Science Advances: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

1/n New paper relevant to those interested in scaling forest restoration: Spatial predictors of landowners' engagement in the restoration of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (doi.org/10.1002/pan3.1…)

So proud to see the hard work of @rianaminocher come out in PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn… Nuanced analysis of 20 years of longitudinal data in a large rural community shows little evidence that non-nuclear family structures lead to reduced growth, education, or survival outcomes.

JOB OPPORTUNITY: General Manager - Chumbe Island Coral Park (Zanzibar) chumbeisland.com/career/ Chumbe Island Coral Park Ltd. (CHICOP) is based in Zanzibar/Tanzania. Established since the early 1990’s CHICOP lobbied for, and went on to acquire management rights over, the Chumbe Island Marine Protected Area (MPA). This award-winning privately managed protected area is renowned as the first financially independent and self-sustaining MPA in the world (and is today one of only two existing). This is made viable through revenue generated by sustainable marine ecotourism (both day visitors and overnight guests staying in Chumbe’s eco-lodge). The tourism operations in the MPA utilize commercial principles with not-for-profit objectives to finance project operations, conservation, research and an extensive environmental education programme for local schools. The MPA includes a protected Coral Reef Sanctuary and Closed Forest Reserve. There is also a Visitors’ centre used for Chumbe’s education programs. #coralreefs #jobs #jobopportunity #zanzibar #mpa #management #coral #coralreefecology #marineecology #marinebiology #careers
