"As the UN warns today that the approaching El Niño will pour fuel on the #climate crisis, it's critical that biodiversity loss and land degradation aren't put on the backburner.” @pettorelli.bsky.social in a new report published today 🌍 1/3
Conservation technology is transforming wildlife protection. But are we thinking carefully enough about the risks? We now have essential technological tools for conservationists worldwide. But these same tools can sometimes be turned against wildlife. A thread. 🛰️

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
The Ecologist@theecologist.org · 9mo ago“The food we eat, that’s ecosystems. Climate regulation, that’s ecosystems. Protection from extreme weather events, that’s ecosystems.”
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 @pettorelli.bsky.social
