🛠 Why it matters:
#Multifunctional landscapes — those that integrate forest conservation with diverse livelihoods — are key to balancing production, conservation & well-being.

🌱 What did we find?
- ES supply is highest in forested/shifting cultivation areas
- Food supply peaks in lowland monocultures — but at a cost
- Demand is widespread, especially for pollination, water & cultural values
- Trade-offs between food & species are real

🌿 New publication alert!
Under the exceptional analytical lead of @sandraeckert.bsky.social and grounded in fieldwork by Phetsaphone Thanasack, we mapped #ecosystemservice supply & demand across Savannakhet Province, #Laos.
A first of its kind for the region. 🧵

📊 Here's our conceptual model:
It shows how hegemonic values, disciplinary lock-in, and governance inertia reinforce PBLA-informed conservation — and how Connected Conservation can counteract this by embracing plural values and systemic change.

It‘s extremely uncommon to experience a rainy Christmas in #Senegal. Today is an exception - or maybe the new normal? In any case, it‘s the topic of the day here in Saly. Merry Christmas to you all!

2/ Our collective, The Careoperative, tackled this challenge head-on. Through a visioning process, we established four core values to guide our collaboration:
✨ Care
🤔 Reflexivity
🌍 Inclusivity
🤝 Collectivity
Here’s how a values-centered approach transformed our research on food systems. 👇

Happy New Year from #thegambia! I hope that the fisherfolks, going out in these small pirogues, will continue to persist despite facing serious threats to their livelihoods from commercial foreign vessels, sand mining, climate change and so on! 🎣🐟🐠🐡
