How are we going to navigate this challenge? We argue that integrated spatial planning (GBF Target 1) can provide a key way forward to maximize positives and minimizes negatives outcomes.
In the planning for future conservation areas these interlinkages should be explicitly considered.

We highlight that any expansion of conservation areas can have positive and negative consequences across the Nexus.
These effects are pervasive and vary in magnitude across realms, protection governance types and sectors.

#IALE2025 is about to kickoff. Looking forward to learn more about the current state of the science. If you are there, don't miss my talk on Friday 😀

The Overview and Design Protocol for Systematic Conservation Planning (ODPSCP) allows users to comprehensively specify the criteria on which a priority map was derived. From general properties to design choices and specific parameters it aims to describe the key steps of how planning conducted (4)

Furthermore, the issue is that there isn’t a single priority map given any set of data. Even prioritizations performed on the same data can markedly differ with targets, grain and scale, costs, actions, penalties, and other constraints (see animation using identical input features) (3)

Was an interesting experience contributing to this many-analysts study (team eucalyptus here, yeah), which is now out in BMC Biology 🥳

It always reminds me of this wonderful xkcd comic (source: xkcd.com/2560/) 😂

Haha,
Definitely some reoccurring patterns here. Will need to see what comes up when I post a bit more research :)

Bsky profiles behave like website (feeds) and are thus searchable. If you want to (at least partially) avoid that -> Setttings -> Moderation -> Toggle this button.

Primer for the #NexusAssessment is out. Following #IPBES11 you will hear more about the key takeaways from this large synthesis me and others have been working on for the last 3 years :)

It's great that the WEF like last year assesses biodiversity loss as a key risk to global economies. However having some dejavue of it being for the medium-long rather than short term. As for climate mitigation we are kicking down the can of meaningful action(source: www.weforum.org/publications...)
