New editorial on an idea that many of us have: Inclusive science brings the best talent to ecology and sustainability We just finished an special issue on the topic:) 🧪🌐 www.academia.edu/2997-6006/3/...

Inclusive science brings the best talent to ecology and sustainability
Environmental crises are too complex and urgent to be addressed by a narrow segment of humanity. Ecology and sustainability sciences therefore require institutions that identify, recruit, support, and...

Scenario modelling of nickel supply to meet demand to 2050 identifies extensive overlap between land and coastal mines and high-priority areas for terrestrial and marine conservation, and shows how this tension would increase under a moratorium on deep-sea mining 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As our economic super-organism's appetite for minerals grows, mining the seafloor, an idea from the mid 20th Century, begins to take shape. In this in-depth-review, Adrian Glover and colleagues review the potential impacts of mining on the deep-sea environment. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Might a moratorium on all forms of deep-sea mining be more harmful for biodiversity? Out now in @natecoevo.nature.com, led by Dr Jayden Hyman, we explore the ecological tradeoffs associated with nickel supply for priority conservation areas across land and sea. 🪸🌳🌐 1/n

Ripper of a talk by Brodie Crouch on maintaining brigalow cover in grazing landscapes at #ESAus2024 just now.. in Brodie’s words, “if we had 20% brigalow cover in every paddock we’d be laughing” 🦤 🌏 🐮 🌳

Gave the last talk of my PhD at #ESAus2024 on target-based compensation for achieving #biodiversity net gain on Tuesday. In short: only feasible in a few ecoregions with nickel mining in Indonesia, and expansion in the most mined area globally not compatible with 50% intact forest retention 🦤🌏🌐

Great talk just now by @tomlloydnature.bsky.social on target-based compensation. Really interesting framing to inform where compensation is feasible (or not) for net gain outcomes. #ESAus2024

>47,000 tree species were recently added to the IUCN Red List, with 35% assessed as threatened. There's still another ~26,000 to assess, ~1/3 of which remain undescribed, but great to see plants getting more #conservation attention🌿🌳🦤🌍 📷 Antarctic Beech (VU), Tullawallal / Lamington NP, QLD, Aus
