New paper and data led by @martacimatti.bsky.social and contributing to the @naturaconnect.bsky.social project out! The Accelerating Exposure of European Protected Areas to Climate Change doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

Provocative read? I think terminology and acknowledging what we don't know is key here... Questioning the Sixth Mass Extinction doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

NaturaConnect's Piero Visconti and @martinjung.eu‬ (IIASA), contributed to the Science for Policy Report on the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030. Their contribution focuses on how biodiversity indicators can more effectively track the link to increased protection efforts. Read more: buff.ly/wOYHswl

Our new work on the impact of #conservation and management actions on bird populations within European protected areas is out. 🦆🦅 One finding being that management actions targeting habitats might help species more adjusting to impacts of climate change. doi.org/10.1016/j.bi...

Integrated spatial planning is used to identify where restoration, conservation and production across Europe could maximize benefits to species conservation and climate mitigation under changing needs for food, bioenergy and timber to 2030 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our new work led by @milliechapman.bsky.social on the NRR is out in @natureecoevo.bsky.social 🎉 Integrated spatial planning can identify opportunities for restoration, while considering future land demand and burden sharing. Paper: doi.org/10.1038/s415... @iiasa.ac.at @naturaconnect.bsky.social

So happy to share our Review paper A well-connected Earth: The science and conservation of organismal movement @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

there has been something of a fox development 🦊🦊🦊

🦍 Conservation is not just about saving nature. It’s about building futures. Emmanuel de Merode, Director of Virunga National Park, delivered a powerful lecture at IIASA that reminded us what's possible—even in the most fragile regions of the world. 📺 Watch and read more 👉 iiasa.ac.at/congolecture

If you are interested in more upcoming datasets like these, follow the @naturaconnect.bsky.social account 😀 In the pipeline: Openly available data on conservation opportunity costs, current and future distributions of species and habitats, ecosystems, protection priority maps and much more...

We are recruiting a first stage researcher to model connectivity and map corridors between biodiversity-rich forests in Europe. The selected research will be part of our @upm.es team in the @safenet-eu.bsky.social project (Horizon Europe). Applications until 25/4. ℹ️ web.upm.es/hrs4r/es/hrs...

A few (a minority) of dog owners did not like our paper: From emails today "Stay the fuck in your shit hole country!" & "[you] deserve immediate dismissal from faux grifter jobs as “scientists,” [and] work for the local poop patrol as that is what they are good at shoveling" shorturl.at/MQ5I6

Damn, the SEDAC centre more or less shut down (data still accessible through NASA). Including many critical datasets such as gridded human population data and so forth. www.ciesin.columbia.edu/content/data

Important article highlighting issues of an often forgotten area. #freshwater #biodiversity Rapid decline of Caspian Sea level threatens ecosystem integrity, biodiversity protection, and human infrastructure. doi.org/10.1038/s432...

New #NaturaConnect data paper on defining FRVs for mammals out @globalmammal.bsky.social ! Quite useful for baseline setting and #conservation-planning. "Conservation targets for European terrestrial mammals using the favourable conservation status concept." doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Read our new review led by the fantastic Tin Buenafe on climate smart systematic conservation planning! A major contribution!

It's here. Pit in stomach feeling. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Exciting overshoot conference coming up at IIASA ⬇️

Check this out — American stocks were on par with global stocks up until late January — and have now dropped terribly since then Gosh I wonder what happened in late January?

Cutting a highway through primary #Amazon rainforest to host climate summit #COP30. Deforestation, carbon loss, land grabs, and biodiversity loss accelerate...ignored. But hey, at least there will be great speeches on sustainability. #DeforestationForClimate #IndigenousRightsIgnored #Greenwashing

Crazy times when stock markets and financial investors are proclaimed as 'Radical Left Lunatics'. Was this what Marx meant to say when workers should unite 😅

My #punkscience manifesto (1-8) 🧪 Feel free to share if this resonates #science

Dear Volodymyr Zelenskyy, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

Great to be part of this exciting new project! With @iiasa.ac.at we are contributing with socio-economic and conservation assessments across Europe!

Happy to start tweeting in Bluesky by announcing that we have just started a new Horizon Europe project SafeNet we’re coordinating at Luke with my dear colleague Jukka Forsman and me. Aiming at improving biodiversity and protecting old-growth forests of Europe. Regards from the kick-off @luke.fi

AI is an urgent threat to knowledge based societies, because it lacks checks and regulation. We should not entrust knowledge to a tech which was designed for effective sales! For scientists, it will be a steep uphill battle from here 👇

🌿 We're hiring researchers in quantitative environmental science! 👉We are looking for new colleagues @iiasa.ac.at who are interested in a career in quantiative enviromental science and ecological modelling.

New paper out from the NaturaConnect project 🎉 Narrative scenarios for nature protection and restoration in Europe following the Nature Futures Framework ! doi.org/10.1007/s002... @globalmammal.bsky.social @nestorfdez.bsky.social @ipbes.net @lmjoconnor.bsky.social

Was an interesting experience contributing to this many-analysts study (team eucalyptus here, yeah), which is now out in BMC Biology 🥳 doi.org/10.1186/s129... It always reminds me of this wonderful xkcd comic (source: xkcd.com/2560/) 😂

Perfectly captured.

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

Lots of great #biodiversity #conservation and #scenario contributions in this new special issue dedicated to Georgina Mace! ‘Bending the curve towards nature recovery: building on Georgina Mace's legacy for a biodiverse future’ royalsocietypublishing.org/toc/rstb/202...

New paper! 🦠🐭🦟 Perspectives on the route towards a 'people and nature' paradigm for biodiversity-disease research and action, with fantastic co-authors @profkatej.bsky.social, @dwredding.bsky.social and Sagan Friant. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

Check out our latest meta-analytical work exploring the level of glucocorticoids on wildlife in response to human activities, led by @davidemirante.bsky.social and with @anabenlop.bsky.social and Davide Costantini

Good news just before the festive days about a funding proposal related to biodiversity-climate adaptation being succesful🥳 Incidentally, our group @iiasa.ac.at will soon be hiring at least one conservation planning / ecological modelling specialist. So follow if you are looking for a new role soon
