First year of TRANSForm sampling in Italy done!🌞To better understand biodiversity, we tested various techniques: pan and pitfall traps for pollinators and carabids, Audiomoth to study birds, netting for targeted pollinator capture, topsoil cores for chemical-physical analysis, and eDNA extraction.🍒🌳

Great to see our new study out: Urban blue spaces provide important sources for urban foraging in India's megacities, particularly for the most marginalized groups in society 👇

🌍 New study: Foraging in India’s urban blue spaces is widespread yet overlooked. Surveying 1,200 people in 4 cities, we found that lakes & wetlands provide food, income, culture & social ties. 👉 Recognizing foraging can support more equitable, resilient urban food systems. 🔗 doi.org/10.1038/s442...

Our systematic overview of how rewilding is practiced in Europe has been published in @consletters.bsky.social. We found five distinct strategies differing in goals, interventions, and people's role as part of the rewilding process. Read more here👇 conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Happy to share my new article looking at why people do NOT use urban wild spaces

People and Nature@peopleandnature.bsky.social · 10mo ago

🏙️How popular are 'wild spaces' in #cities and what prevents people from visiting these greenspaces? New study by Brenda Zoderer identifies the most salient barriers to using #wildspaces, providing insight into strategies to reconnect people with #nature ➡️ buff.ly/qMRc4Ea

🚨 We are looking for 3 new colleagues to join the GreenFrontier team as Postdoctoral Researchers! Deadline for applications: 25 Nov 2025 Each of the 3 openings will involve extended ethnographic fieldwork + plenty of opportunities to consolidate research & leadership skills! Please share widely!

🏙️ New Research: Giving space back to nature in cities? A multi-scenario analysis of the acceptability of urban rewilding among local communities ➡️ buff.ly/krr06Un Rewilding our cities - are people on board? New study by @BrendaZoderer and Harald Wieser

Eine neue Studie der BOKU University zeigt, dass die Mehrheit der Wiener*innen der Entwicklung hin zu Flächen mit wilder Natur positiv gegenübersteht. Naturflächen können sowohl Lebensqualität, als auch Biodiversität in der Stadt steigern. Link zur Studie: bit.ly/4fv0fyl © Stadt Wien/Martin Votava

Our new paper shows strong support for #urbanrewilding among local communities; however, lower #acceptance of younger residents, non-users & deprived neighborhoods calls for context-specific adaptations to prevent environmental injustices in cities. @bokuvienna.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/pan3...

What a start to the #novelecosystem symposium at @tcddublin.bsky.social. One day full of inspiring talks and discussions. Two more to come. @noveleco.bsky.social

Marcus Collier@marcuscollier.bsky.social · last yr.

I am delighted to be hosting my first global symposium. Three days of discussions on the future of the novel ecosystem concept and novel ecosystems of the future. Exciting publications to follow! Part of the @noveleco.bsky.social project #novelecosystems #TrinityResearch #ERCResearch

#Rewilding in Europe - Genealogies, Imaginaries and Practices of Conservation in the #Anthropocene - international conference starting next Wednesday 19th March @Museum Koenig Bonn, sponsored by @valuepast.bsky.social For programme and registration see leibniz-lib.de/en/events/re...

Looking forward to this event at #MuseumKoenigBonn! Interesting programme and speakers. I'll present our study on the commonalities and differences in #rewilding practices across Europe. See you in a few days 😊

9/ Brenda Maria Zonderer from the Institute of Landscape Development, Vienna, assesses the diversity of #rewilding practices in Europe. In the absence of a legal framework these initiatives are bottom-up processes, promoted by non-state actors responding to local challenges.

2/ @monicavasile.bsky.social from @fasosmaastricht.bsky.social delivers the opening keynote with 3 stories on #rewilding 's past. Following the attempts to protect Swiss Ibex, virgin forests of 🇷🇴 & European #bison, Monica shows that past legacies & plot twists still impact current conservation.

Conference alert! The "Rethinking Wild Europe - European Perspectives on #wilderness, #rewilding and #biodiversity conservation" conference will take place at the @univie.ac.at on Feb 7-8th. I will give a talk on the plurality of #rewilding practices across Europe. See below for more information 👇

Excited to share our new paper on #urbanforaging in Vienna! We show that residents prefer large & less managed urban greenspaces for wild #foraging, providing evidence for combining urban #rewilding with #ediblecity solutions 🌿 @boku-ilen.bsky.social @bokuvienna.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.uf...

Nun sind wir auch hier angekommen, das Institut für Landschaftsentwicklung, Erholungs- und Naturschutzplanung der BOKU University (forschung.boku.ac.at/de/departmen...). Freuen uns über Follower und wenn ihr mal auf unserer Forschungsseite vorbeischaut:

Where can we find wild nature in cities? New research shows that #wild nature can exist across diverse urban environments and greenspaces, but #rewilding efforts are particularly needed in inner #cities.
