Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Making starter packs seems to be the hot thing and I noticed that we don't have one for conservation scientists (🧪), so here we go go.bsky.app/3CZDnb2
So if you are an active researcher and would like to be added, reply here. Please no journalists or NGOs, there are other starting lists for that ;)

Always happy to spend time with farmers, this time extensive livestock farmers/landowners from Spain's savanna, the Dehesa. Grateful for their time and knowledge of #NbS already in use. From 14 NbS proposed, there were clear winners, including rotational/holistic/regenerative grazing 🌱#DRYADProject
🌿 The #DRYADRegionalWorkshop kicks off today in Mérida!
Stakeholders from #Extremadura & #Andalusia are reviewing #NatureBasedSolutions from the #DRYADProject to boost regional #Sustainability & #ClimateResilience. 🔬

Is #RegenerativeAgriculture the solution to delivering for both food and nature?

70% of the UK is farmland. Essential that sustainable, reasonable land inclusive land use planning is achieved to avoid total nature depletion, as well as the ecosystem services that go with it.

That means working with farmers is the best chance we have of seeing our wildlife numbers recover and then soar.

Right now, the UK Government is considering cuts to the nature-friendly farming budget – the biggest pot of funding for nature.
Here’s why that would be a disaster for farmers, food security, and wildlife.

Beautiful trip to visit one of the dryad-project.eu field sites in the Spanish Dehesas, Extremadura. Historically managed socio-ecological systems, Holm Oak open woodlands, livestock, silvopastoral grazing, and jamón ibérico.

Thrilled to see my last #PhD paper on restoration policy scenarios for Brazil’s Atlantic Forest published shorturl.at/pQ1Ie We modelled stakeholder-driven scenarios with different restoration targets to assess trade-offs for agriculture, biodiversity & people www.kcl.ac.uk/news/smallho...
Smallholder farmers and efficient ranching practices critical to meet ambitious restoration targets in Brazil's Atlantic Forest
A new study led by King’s simulated the effects of various restoration policies to assess their impact on biodiversity and agricultural production.
