🐺 Wolves and other large carnivore species are making a comeback in Europe.
Yet current conservation policies are still geared toward protecting species on the brink of extinction. This no longer reflects reality, argue researchers in a new commentary. www.stockholmresilience.org/5.1a496cd119...

Hot from the @consletters.bsky.social press: "Now What? The Conundrum of Successful Recovery of Wolves and Other Species for European Conservation", where Erica Von Essen and I discuss future trajectories of species recovery and management in Europe. Here summarised by @sthlmresilience.bsky.social.

New paper: Londoners are more likely to donate to national & global environmental causes than local. Our findings suggest environmental giving isn’t as parochial as human-directed altruism #EnvEcon #Climate #Philanthropy

🌾📉 New research published in @natureecoevo.bsky.social shows that intensifying existing farmland can sometimes harm local biodiversity more than expanding agricultural land.
