The motto of #ESA2025 this year is "Biodiversity on the brink – BOLD ACTIONS for a resilient future" On Thu I'm presenting on a super bold, landscape-scale biodiversity project that will keep 10-25 species from being added to Threatened species list. Thu 1030! Big room! Comfy chairs! Great photos!

Pretty interested in others views on the model here. In my mind this still raises issues of relying on private money for public good (potentially de-democratising decisions), but practically I like the diversity and innovation in the mechanisms applied. Thoughts?
