I will be giving a UCL Lunch Hour lecture on the 13th of January, 13:00 – 14:00. More land or higher yields? You can register here: www.ucl.ac.uk/events/event.... The talk will also be available as a video recording afterwards on YouTube.

Lunch Hour Lecture - More land or higher yields?

In this lecture, Dr Silvia Ceausu will discuss different paths to producing enough food while staying within sustainable limits.

🐺 Wolves and other large carnivore species are making a comeback in Europe. Yet current conservation policies are still geared toward protecting species on the brink of extinction. This no longer reflects reality, argue researchers in a new commentary. www.stockholmresilience.org/5.1a496cd119...

Hot from the @consletters.bsky.social press: "Now What? The Conundrum of Successful Recovery of Wolves and Other Species for European Conservation", where Erica Von Essen and I discuss future trajectories of species recovery and management in Europe. Here summarised by @sthlmresilience.bsky.social.

New paper: Londoners are more likely to donate to national & global environmental causes than local. Our findings suggest environmental giving isn’t as parochial as human-directed altruism #EnvEcon #Climate #Philanthropy authors.elsevier.com/a/1lnZw3Hb%7...

🌾📉 New research published in @natureecoevo.bsky.social shows that intensifying existing farmland can sometimes harm local biodiversity more than expanding agricultural land. Read more 👉 iiasa.ac.at/news/may-202... @ucl.ac.uk @silviaceausu.bsky.social @tnewbold31.bsky.social

The intensification of existing farmland can sometimes be more harmful to local #biodiversity than expanding the area covered by agricultural land, finds a new study led by Dr @silviaceausu.bsky.social with Prof @tnewbold31.bsky.social @uclcber.bsky.social @ucllifesciences.bsky.social #LandUse

Intensifying farmland can sometimes degrade biodiversity more than expansion

The intensification of existing farmland can sometimes be more harmful to local biodiversity than expanding the area covered by agricultural land, finds a new study led by UCL researchers.

Our study on the biodiversity impacts of agriculture in @natureecoevo.bsky.social rdcu.be/ekept Minimizing biodiversity loss requires a balance of expansion and intensification,while preserving unmodified land #Biodiversity #LandUse #ConservationScience @dleclere.bsky.social @tnewbold31.bsky.social

Geography and availability of natural habitat determine whether cropland intensification or expansion is more detrimental to biodiversity

Nature Ecology & Evolution - Both agricultural expansion and intensification drive biodiversity losses. Here the authors quantify and compare globally the biodiversity impact of land conversion...
