Despite its agri-environment schemes, Europe’s farmland biodiversity is declining We suggest AES improvements - Spatial targeting - Co-designed, more flexible - Better advisory support - Payment by results - Larger budget - Better monitoring - New policy cycle www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Check out our new book chapter on "Monitoring farmland biodiversity using remote sensing". The chapter is part of the book "Improving biodiversity monitoring of agricultural landscapes", hopefully an interesting and useful read for many working in agroecosystems 🌾 Link here: doi.org/10.19103/as....

New paper out! "Rethinking agri-environmental schemes for a greener Europe" summarizes many of the learnings we took from the BESTMAP project (bestmap.eu) on the shortcomings of agri-environmental schemes and how to improve them for the future. Have a read: www.cell.com/trends-open/...

How do we decide on conservation actions in the face of context dependency? In our new paper on ‘Precision Ecology’ we show how methods developed in medicine & marketing can be applied to predict site-specific outcomes allowing effective & targeted conservation doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Happy to be part of this paper: esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... We present a new classification-occupancy model for automatically identified species data, including a step-by-step guide to fit it to your own data. Relevant for everyone working with e.g. ecoacoustic data!

Tomorrow will be eBird's Global Big Day: ebird.org/globalbigday In my paper, I analyzed how COVID-19 lockdowns affected biodiversity data collection. It was interesting to see how, even during lockdown, data collection skyrocketed during eBird Big Days in some countries (Costa Rica in the figure).

Happy to share our new paper! www.nature.com/articles/s41... Five years ago around this time, most people were entering the first COVID-19 lockdown. We analyzed how these restrictions affected the amount of biodiversity data collected during the lockdown, using data from @gbif.org

OECD countries give a smaller share of their national income to foreign aid today than in 1960
A line graph titled "Foreign aid given as a share of national income, DAC Countries" illustrates the trend of official development assistance (ODA) as a percentage of gross national income from 1960 to 2023. The vertical axis represents the percentage of national income, ranging from 0% to 0.5%, while the horizontal axis indicates the years from 1960 to 2023. 

The graph shows a decline in foreign aid from approximately 0.49% in 1960, followed by fluctuations, hitting a low of about 0.21% around the year 2000. After this low point, there is a gradual increase, reaching 0.37% in 2023. Two data points are highlighted: 0.49% at the start, and 0.21% around 2000, marking significant moments in the timeline.

In the graph, "DAC countries" is noted as major aid donors in the OECD, with a credit to the data source, which is the OECD for the year 2024. The visual is copyrighted under CC BY.
