One of the things I had on my to-do list before leaving the Netherlands was a visit to @naturalis.bsky.social.
It's amazing how and with what detail everything is displayed! Truly inspiring.

After spending some weeks disconnecting in the Azores, it's time to get back to work with 100% motivation!
In particular, Flores Island made me emphasise the danger of exotic species on islands. I am really concerned about the impact of Cryptomeria japonica and Hedychium gardnerianum on the island.

Our model identified regulating ecosystem services, taxonomic diversity, and intrinsic value of nature as priorities for stakeholders.
Conversely, the preferred characteristics of protected areas (e.g., size and accessibility) varyed mostly based on individual preference.

We are facing a research-implementation crisis in conservation, which endangers initiatives such as Kunming-Montreal (GBF). Success in conserving biodiversity requires the engagement of stakeholders.
We aimed to find conservation priorities of +350 Mediterranean forest stakeholders of four groups.

The results?
🌴 Plantation area doubled from 1984 to 2021, reaching 71,156 ha.
📍 Biskra leads in date production: 153,135 tons.
Why it matters:
→ Agricultural policies are driving plantation growth right where the palm thrives best 🌱
→ Our findings can help guide smarter land use in arid regions.

Remember my thermometers for B&G Urban project to estimate the UHI effect at tree level? I placed 39. After 3 moths I had 25, now I only have 12.
My enemies? Local gardeners and street thieves.

I am not sure about the usefulness of this data, but some patterns emerge.
