An ecosystem approach is the only way to halt the vanishing of UK wildlife.
Our latest report with @nationaltrust.org.uk, led by @pettorelli.bsky.social, makes clear that human wellbeing is underpinned by ecosystems continuing to function in a resilient way.
📰Covered in @theecologist.org
Time to rethink nature conservation?
Ecologists call for an ecosystem approach to halt UK wildlife decline and protect the vital services nature provides us in our new report with @nationaltrust.org.uk

The perks of attending an in-person BES meeting :)
Integrated Nature-Climate Action: what is it? why do we need it? If you are interested in #policy, #synergies, #climateaction and how to improve coordination on the tackling of the nature & climate crises, this #OA paper out today is for you besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
This is a really crazy thing to do.
“More than 140 employees of the National Science Foundation have signed a letter denouncing what they described as efforts to undermine one of the country’s main science funding agencies.”
Life as an academic criticising industry at Global Plastics Treaty
"I filed harassment reports... I’ve been harassed & intimidated lots of other times, in lots of other contexts, at off-site meetings, at side events, also at sci conferences, via email and so on”

Insurance companies will no longer be able to cover the UK's most flood-exposed homes, because "the [flooding] problem is....now worse than when we started" (climate change huh?)
350k homes will become uninhabitable
Should the oil industry pay to cover this?

Wild board are incredible ecosystem engineers - but how does their presence relate to plant diversity and soil carbon? Interested in finding out? Answer here besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...
Should Ecology be more proactive & vocal on one of the key issues of our times? What systemic & institutional changes are needed for the ecological community to be at the forefront of the response? If these are questions that speak to you, this new paper may be of interest lnkd.in/eXfXG4xM
The paper *should* be accessible at rdcu.be/epIAw (but let me know if that doesn't work)
Of course - just drop me an email :)

It’s today, same place (London Southbank), same time (1-4PM) as it has been for the last 15 years - hope to see some of you there!
Can’t do this one? There’s many more planned for this year - have a look at soapboxscience.org
Quite possibly the biggest climate story of the year (especially when we look back on this in a few years' time)
For the first time on record, China's emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand...
"Observations from space of the energy imbalance shows that it is rising much faster than expected, and in 2023 it reached values two times higher than the best estimate from IPCC." 😬
