Today we publish a new paper at The British Medical Journal on the links between biodiversity, climate and health in relation to the hashtag#COP30 in Brazil

Here we argue that climate resilience depends on nature—and both are vital for the health of people.

The Amazon is one of Earth’s major climate stabilisers—we must protect the rainforest and its biodiversity
The twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change have clear implications for human health and must be central to discussions at COP30, argue David Nogués-Bravo and Helena Alves-Pinto The acce...

Harms of introduced large herbivores outweigh benefits to native biodiversity

Harms of introduced large herbivores outweigh benefits to native biodiversity - Nature Communications
Using impact assessment frameworks, this study shows that the introduction of large mammalian herbivores outside their native range has predominantly caused negative impacts on native biodiversity globally. The authors advise caution regarding their further intentional introduction for conservation purposes.

"Biodiversity loss is a public health problem – let's treat it as such"...this is the topic of a popular science article I just wrote for a Danish Media Outlet.

Check it here: naturmonitor.dk/nyheder/deba...
Professor: Tab af biodiversitet er et folkesundhedsproblem – lad os behandle det som sådan
Landene har forpligtet sig under FN’s konvention om biologisk mangfoldighed til at anerkende sammenhængen mellem biodiversitet og menneskers sundhed.

We can now predict the loss of genetic diversity—from space!!!

This is the breakthrough of our new paper, led by Spyros Theodoridis

Satellite-observed mountain greening predicts genomic erosion in a grassland medicinal herb over half a century
Biodiversity is under threat due to habitat transformation, yet monitoring its loss—particularly at the genetic level—is challenging. Theodoridis et al. show that vegetation change captured through sa...
