Camera trap photos like these are literally saving jaguar lives—and paying ranchers thousands in the process. It's all part of a coexistence program in the US-Mexico Borderlands intended to protect the world's northernmost jaguar population. @benjij.bsky.social: www.vox.com/down-to-eart...

For @theborderchronicle.bsky.social, I wrote about two sound art projects centering the borderlands, the Dia Foundation’s Echoes from the Borderlands and UTEP rhetoric professors’ Border Soundscapes: www.theborderchronicle.com/p/listening-...

Listening to the Borderlands

Two audio projects offer soundtracks of a region often talked about, but seldom heard.

Happy to be back in the Mara, training community conservancy rangers to maintain a #cameratrap grid for wildlife monitoring + research. 📸 We’ll soon start pilot testing Akili (projectakili.ai) an open-source, end-to-end conservation data management platform from Wildlife Protection Solutions 🦓📊

🌟new paper🌟 the first chapter of my thesis is out in #ecography ! We present #regionalbiomes as a novel spatial unit for global biodiversity monitoring frameworks 🌏 This unit could increase resolution on biodiversity trends 📈 whilst keeping data collection feasible 📋🏞 doi.org/10.1111/ecog...

Regional Biomes outperform broader spatial units in capturing biodiversity responses to land‐use change

Biogeographic context, such as biome type, has a critical influence on ecological resilience, as climatic and environmental conditions impact how communities respond to anthropogenic threats. For exa....
