In this new commentary for The Conversation Africa, @johansix.bsky.social, Matti Barthel, Glenn Bush, and I discuss what the new "green corridor" law means for the Congo Basin and what might impede its success @saegroupethz.bsky.social @usyseth.bsky.social

DRC’s plan for the world’s largest tropical forest reserve would be good for the planet: can it succeed?
Setting up the world’s biggest giant tropical forest reserve in the Congo Basin is a step towards conserving the area and creating jobs for local communities.

Lower survival rate among trainees in labs with highly productive mentors raises important concerns about what we value in academia. Many interesting things to stew over with this paper!
