This is a call to move beyond diagnosing conservation problems.
We need more scalable, just, and locally driven solutions.
The future of Southeast Asia’s biodiversity — the resources that sustain millions of its people — depends on it.

Some of the most promising solutions we found:
✅ Stronger community forest governance
✅ Incentives for conservation in working landscapes
✅ Reducing urban wildmeat demand
✅ Aligning climate + biodiversity goals
✅ Better monitoring and evaluation tools

🌍 Land-use change
🛣️ Infrastructure expansion
🐗 Overexploitation
And increasingly....
🔥 Climate change
🦎 Invasive species
... often acting together in synergistic ways.
It’s a complex picture 😱 — but not a hopeless one 🙂!

This builds on a powerful legacy.
20 years ago, the late Navjot Sodhi called attention to the region’s biodiversity crisis.
We revisit that warning — and ask what’s changed since.
Short answer: A lot! But the threats have evolved too.

We bring together conservation leaders from across Southeast Asia to explore:
– What’s driving biodiversity loss
– How threats vary by country
– Which solutions are working
– Why local leadership is key

Another proud #PhD supervisor moment. Three (yes 3) amazing new Doctors of Conservation graduated in Canterbury Cathedral yesterday.
@katielspencer.bsky.social @micgylo.bsky.social & Ardiantiono continue to do amazing research on the forests, biodiversity & people of Indonesia.
Semangaat semua!!🥳
