🚨Paper Alert! Toke a look to our latest publication on the importance of permanent woody crops for biodiversity and society!
uni-goettingen.de Uni Göttingen @uni-goettingen.de · Jan 21
Tree crops crucial for sustainable development! From apples to coffee to olives, orchards are needed for local economies, #biodiversity, climate protection, and much more. Researchers call for tailored policies: s.gwdg.de/9CWpWS, #NatureSustainability research @funcagroeco.bsky.social: doi.org/n2rm
Cacao plantation in the ‘Eco-Cacao’ project in Peru - one farmworker is standing in the middle of the scene which shows cacao trees with thick, shiny green leaves. Bluish mountains are in the background and white clouds hang in a bright blue sky. Tree crops such as these offer important sources of income for local people and can - with sustainable strategies - protect biodiversity. Photo thanks to Blanca Blanca Ivañez-Ballesteros Orchard meadow in Germany - trees are in full blossom and look naturally arranged. Red-tiled houses are in the background. It's a sunny day with dark shadows cast by the trees on thick lush green grass. Such tree crops often have a high level of biodiversity, which can be promoted through sustainable management.

Perverse market incentives related to the desirability of rare items are pushing the European eel to extinction, by favoring its exploitation despite extreme scarcity

The forest of my village #SanEstebanDeNogales has burned. The region suffers abandonment. Extreme weather conditions and limited extinction resources have fostered a fire burning thousands of ha. Yesterday, we were evacuated, today, 25 villages have been already evacuated. We are awaiting for news

Landscape-level synergistic and antagonistic effects among conservation measures drive wild bee densities and species richness 🐝🧪
