We can do better than keeping species on life support. What would conservation look like if “thriving” — not just “surviving” — was the goal? 🦬🐺🐻 New article with @jonathan-farr.bsky.social !!!

The Human Shield Hypothesis: Does Predator Avoidance of Humans Create Refuges for Prey?
The human shield hypothesis posits that predators avoid areas of human disturbance due to perceived risk from humans, and prey therefore seeks refuge in these areas of perceived safety. Our systemati....
