Our Matters Arising article "Overestimating outsourced biodiversity loss may misguide policy" is out in @nature.com today. We raise concerns that attributing biodiversity loss from shifting cultivation to international commodity trade may misguide policy. 📝: rdcu.be/ff6XH 🗞️ : shorturl.at/JCaUA

Great thread highlighting our new 30x30 global study and two highly relevant papers on Ethiopia and Kenya. Thank you @wissevanengelen.bsky.social

Once in a while you get a week when a whole strain of highly complementary papers is published. Such was the case this week, with three great papers all discussing the social dimensions of conservation in relation to the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework’s target of 30x30 🧵

🌱 New paper out! We challenge the long-standing assumption that #poverty drives #biodiversity loss — and explore why this narrative persists in conservation practice. Time to rethink who is really driving the crisis. 📉🌍 🔗 bit.ly/3ZqNvlC #openaccess 🧵👇 #conservation #biodiversity #equity #PBLA

Unveiling pervasive assumptions: moving beyond the poverty-biodiversity loss association in conservation

This paper reflects on the continued persistence of the idea in conservation research and practice that poverty drives biodiversity loss (the poverty-…

A telecoupling lens on our artisanal #gold project in the #Peruvian Amazon, led us to investigate whether #Swiss actors involved in the gold market would be ready to source responsibly produced gold. These insights are important to shape interventions that aim to improve the reality of miners.

Wyss Academy for Nature@wyssacademy.bsky.social · 2y ago

Is the Swiss market ready for responsibly sourced gold from small-scale miners? The @cdeunibe.bsky.social and the Wyss Academy wanted to get to the bottom of this question. Interested? Learn more and access our reports at www.wyssacademy.org/publications

Glad for the invitation to the @ethzurich.bsky.social RESPONSE symposium where I stressed the need to approach sustainable land use in tropical forest frontiers through both local and global action, mobilising system, target and transformation knowledge.

1/ Watch @juliegwen.bsky.social’s (@wyssacademy.bsky.social, CDE, @unibern.bsky.social) presentation from the RESPONSE Symposium 2024 at @ethzurich.bsky.social 💡She emphasized that land is key to sustainable development but achieving it requires balancing ecology, economy, and justice. t.ly/KUN3X

1/ 🚨 Many transdisciplinary food or land system research projects stumble because they overlook a crucial aspect: values. Without addressing the values that underpin their goals, researchers risk losing stakeholder trust and derailing project outcomes. 🧵

Happy New Year from #thegambia! I hope that the fisherfolks, going out in these small pirogues, will continue to persist despite facing serious threats to their livelihoods from commercial foreign vessels, sand mining, climate change and so on! 🎣🐟🐠🐡
