so cool to see our 2024 publication in the account of @esandpeople.bsky.social ! using a participatory approach, we developed a qualitative model and future scenarios for nature’s contributions to people at the periurban region of Campinas, a metropolis in Brazil!

Farm trees have ecological benefits, but also cultural importance. Here, we identify olive trees as cultural keystone species in Morocco's High Atlas. Considering cultural values is key for developing sensitive restoration. @mobarakchaima.bsky.social @mrdjournal.bsky.social. doi.org/10.1659/mrd....

Hello! Bit of a late uptake here, took me over a year since I quit twitter to figure out where to put my social networking energy :) Looking forward to getting amongst the social-ecological human-nature sustainability science fray!🤩
