Please come along to our #ICCB2025 symposium on "Future pathways for area-based conservation" tomorrow, Tues 17, from 3:15 to 4:15 pm in Mezzanine Level Meeting Room M3.

We have a set of excellent speakers talking about how and whether different types of conservation areas fit within GBF Target 3.

I've written a blog on the background to our new Sharing Space for Nature project and why we need more ambition in conservation.

As part of this I discuss the Lawton review, a key influence on conservation in England, and how its central mantra is often misquoted.

Our new open access article "Developing a framework to improve global estimates of conservation area coverage" is out now in Oryx!

The work was led by Rachel Sykes and involved a great team of people, including @kristianmetcalfe.bsky.social
