Happy to see this piece out in Public Management Review! I examine the challenges Brazil’s protected areas agency has faced in allocating its workforce in a way that supports its key goal of preventing hashtag#deforestation.

Interested in how nearby communities perceive mining for minerals critical to the energy transition? This paper, based on a survey deployed in Argentina, looks like a must-read. So much in here.

We are 1 month from the launch of the #IPBES @ipbes.bsky.social Transformative Change Assessment. After a series of excellent IPBES reports focused on the drivers of biodiversity loss, I'm looking forward to this deep analysis of *actions* that we can take.
