It's clear that society must pursue transformative policies to both fight climate change and halt the loss of biodiversity. Our research looks to identify 'win-win' strategies that help decision makers address both these crises jointly.
To benefit biodiversity & climate, restoring lost forests works best: Study
Tree-planting has become a go-to tool for taking carbon out of the atmosphere and repairing deforested habitats. And indeed, reforestation — planting trees or fostering tree regrowth in historically f...

🌍🐾 Climate Solutions & Wildlife Habitats

A study of 14,000+ vertebrates reveals reforestation helps biodiversity, but afforestation (tree planting in non-forest areas) and bioenergy crops often harm wildlife.

Variable impacts of land-based climate mitigation on habitat area for vertebrate diversity
Pathways to achieving net zero carbon emissions commonly involve deploying reforestation, afforestation, and bioenergy crops across millions of hectares of land. It is often assumed that by helping to...

Excited to share our new paper out today in Science! As countries continue to pledge large areas of land for climate change mitigation, it's more critical than ever to understand how they will affect biodiversity - and we set out to do just that! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Now seems a good time to give this a go...

Looking for folks studying biogeography 🌎🌍🌏, spatial modelling 🗺️, global change 🌡️🌳, and ecosystem services 🧑‍🤝‍🧑

I'll post some of that, but mostly about how #NewJersey is the best state and my optimism for #Philly sports that will inevitably disappoint me
