Reconnecting people to nature is key for biodiversity action. Our new study identifies 5 ways people relate to #Natura2000:
🐾 Learning
🏞️ Heritage
🪴 Care
🧑‍🌾 Multifunctionality
👭 Collaboration
Revealing such narratives can build new alliances & place PAs at the heart of society.

Conservation ABANDONMENT is a policy blind spot.
Amidst the collective push to establish nature conservation initiatives, little attention is paid to ensuring that they persist over time, threatening progress towards global environmental goals.

COP30 overpromised, underdelivered, empowered distractions, backtracked on issues and once again gave big oil and big ag a free pass.

Unfortunately, the suspicions of climate scientists (here in Brazil and abroad) were confirmed again.

#RuralWomen across the world play a crucial role in managing natural resources. They are guardians of #forests, trees, and ecosystems.

Empowering rural women means empowering communities.

Happy #RuralWomenDay!

📊 The IPBES #NexusAssessment Report highlights how nexus governance can address indirect & direct drivers of change as an alternative to siloed approaches.

Learn about the key components of a nexus approach with this graphic.

💡 https://www.ipbes.net/nexus-assessment
An infographic explaining scaling approaches in nexus governance. At the top, four speech bubbles illustrate different scaling types: "Scaling deep" (showing thought processes), "Scaling up" (institutional growth), "Scaling down" (distribution), and "Scaling out" (geographic expansion). The main diagram flows from left to right showing: Left section: Lists indirect drivers (Economic, Demographic, etc.) and direct drivers (Land/sea use change, Climate change, etc.) Middle section: Shows nexus challenges and elements with icons for biodiversity, water, agriculture, and health Right section: Depicts "Key components" of nexus governance including: Decision-support tools Capacities (showing analytical, motivational, bridging, and social networking) Enhanced opportunities for diverse actor engagement Implementation of response options (lightbulb icon) The bottom shows five key components of NEXUS GOVERNANCE: Integrative and holistic framings Inclusive approaches Considerations of equity and accountability Processes for collaboration and coordination Adaptive, reflexive and experimental The design uses a color-coded system to show relationships between different elements and processes.

@unescochairuib.bsky.social took a very flattering photo of me getting into the thorn bushes talking about nature's multiple values and presenting the @ipbes.net #ValuesAssessmentIPBES last week for a @cesam-uib.bsky.social breakfast seminar!

A new study by François Keck et al. reveals that human pressures reshape #biodiversity, but don’t always lead to global homogenization. Instead, impacts vary by scale, ecosystem, and type of disturbance. 🌍🧪

"a, Climate change novelty, composed of temperature and precipitation metrics

b, defaunation novelty, composed of richness and body mass changes of mammal communities

c, floristic disruption novelty, composed of the change in intactness and the proportion of alien species in plant communities"

Hello! Bit of a late uptake here, took me over a year since I quit twitter to figure out where to put my social networking energy :) Looking forward to getting amongst the social-ecological human-nature sustainability science fray!🤩

Farm trees have ecological benefits, but also cultural importance. Here, we identify olive trees as cultural keystone species in Morocco's High Atlas. Considering cultural values is key for developing sensitive restoration. @mobarakchaima.bsky.social @mrdjournal.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1659/mrd....

so cool to see our 2024 publication in the account of @esandpeople.bsky.social ! using a participatory approach, we developed a qualitative model and future scenarios for nature’s contributions to people at the periurban region of Campinas, a metropolis in Brazil!
