Reconnecting people to nature is key for biodiversity action. Our new study identifies 5 ways people relate to #Natura2000: 🐾 Learning 🏞️ Heritage 🪴 Care 🧑‍🌾 Multifunctionality 👭 Collaboration Revealing such narratives can build new alliances & place PAs at the heart of society. doi.org/10.1002/pan3...

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass. Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

Conservation ABANDONMENT is a policy blind spot. Amidst the collective push to establish nature conservation initiatives, little attention is paid to ensuring that they persist over time, threatening progress towards global environmental goals. nature.com/articles/s41... (paywalled) 🧪 🌊

📊 The IPBES #NexusAssessment Report highlights how nexus governance can address indirect & direct drivers of change as an alternative to siloed approaches. Learn about the key components of a nexus approach with this graphic. 💡 www.ipbes.net/nexus-assessment

An infographic explaining scaling approaches in nexus governance. At the top, four speech bubbles illustrate different scaling types: "Scaling deep" (showing thought processes), "Scaling up" (institutional growth), "Scaling down" (distribution), and "Scaling out" (geographic expansion).

The main diagram flows from left to right showing:

Left section: Lists indirect drivers (Economic, Demographic, etc.) and direct drivers (Land/sea use change, Climate change, etc.)
Middle section: Shows nexus challenges and elements with icons for biodiversity, water, agriculture, and health
Right section: Depicts "Key components" of nexus governance including:
Decision-support tools
Capacities (showing analytical, motivational, bridging, and social networking)
Enhanced opportunities for diverse actor engagement
Implementation of response options (lightbulb icon)
The bottom shows five key components of NEXUS GOVERNANCE:

Integrative and holistic framings
Inclusive approaches
Considerations of equity and accountability
Processes for collaboration and coordination
Adaptive, reflexive and experimental
The design uses a color-coded system to show relationships between different elements and processes.

A new study by François Keck et al. reveals that human pressures reshape #biodiversity, but don’t always lead to global homogenization. Instead, impacts vary by scale, ecosystem, and type of disturbance. 🌍🧪 @natureportfolio.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41...

so cool to see our 2024 publication in the account of @esandpeople.bsky.social ! using a participatory approach, we developed a qualitative model and future scenarios for nature’s contributions to people at the periurban region of Campinas, a metropolis in Brazil!

Farm trees have ecological benefits, but also cultural importance. Here, we identify olive trees as cultural keystone species in Morocco's High Atlas. Considering cultural values is key for developing sensitive restoration. @mobarakchaima.bsky.social @mrdjournal.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1659/mrd....

Hello! Bit of a late uptake here, took me over a year since I quit twitter to figure out where to put my social networking energy :) Looking forward to getting amongst the social-ecological human-nature sustainability science fray!🤩
