📢 Adoption of new IUCN resolution on #amphibian #conservation 📢 🐸
Big news, since a recent study showed that amphib conservation is serially underfunded. The TLDR of this are calls for:
-updated conservation guidelines
-govts to implement long term national plans
-funding research

So no adaptation to light pollution? We discuss different plausible explanations for this lack of differentiation.

Here is your periodic reminder that we want your papers on the management of light pollution. Deadline June 1 but we'll take them any time! #DarkSky #lightpollution
Hey there #lightpollution folks, I'm teaming up with Chinese colleagues to guest edit a special issue of Journal of Urban Management on light pollution. This venue will get your work in front of international readers, and especially Chinese colleagues as engagement in #darksky issues increases.
