A Biodiversity Solution Might Be Hiding in Plain Sight. We tend to look at environmental problems in isolation. A holistic approach would be more effective, a new report says.

Facing complex issues like declining biodiversity means integrating diverse viewpoints & variables.

@taylorhricketts.bsky.social & colleagues from across the world collaborated on the @ipbes.bsky.social report to address these issues.

Deforestation can make bednets less effective. Whoah. New findings from Tafesse Estifanos and team at @gundinstitute.bsky.social. These interactions between nature and health are everywhere, as highlighted this week by the #NexusAssessment here at #IPBES11 in Namibia .
