This report says that more than half of global GDP — $50 trillion — is moderately to highly dependent on nature. I say no less than all of humanity and the web of life — immeasurably precious — are part of nature and highly dependent on it. www.newscientist.com/article/2461...

Instead of listing my publications, as the year draws to an end, I want to shine the spotlight on the commonplace assumption that productivity must always increase. Good research is disruptive and thinking time is central to high quality scholarship and necessary for disruptive research.

This morning I was part of a fantastic panel discussing uncertainty in #rewilding at #BES2024 with @sahranhiggins.bsky.social, @jlorimer.bsky.social, Nell Pates, Ben Dempsey and Leo Mercer. Thanks so much @pettorelli.bsky.social and Chris Sandom for organizing it, and for inviting me.

The Climate and Nature Bill is dream legislation and we - you and I - have the chance to help make it UK law But what’s so great about it, don’t we have legislation for climate and the environment already? Well... Here are my Top 10 favourite things about the #CANBill
