New editorial on an idea that many of us have: Inclusive science brings the best talent to ecology and sustainability We just finished an special issue on the topic:) 🧪🌐 www.academia.edu/2997-6006/3/...

Scenario modelling of nickel supply to meet demand to 2050 identifies extensive overlap between land and coastal mines and high-priority areas for terrestrial and marine conservation, and shows how this tension would increase under a moratorium on deep-sea mining 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

As our economic super-organism's appetite for minerals grows, mining the seafloor, an idea from the mid 20th Century, begins to take shape. In this in-depth-review, Adrian Glover and colleagues review the potential impacts of mining on the deep-sea environment. www.cell.com/current-biol...

Might a moratorium on all forms of deep-sea mining be more harmful for biodiversity? Out now in @natecoevo.nature.com, led by Dr Jayden Hyman, we explore the ecological tradeoffs associated with nickel supply for priority conservation areas across land and sea. 🪸🌳🌐 1/n

Ripper of a talk by Brodie Crouch on maintaining brigalow cover in grazing landscapes at #ESAus2024 just now.. in Brodie’s words, “if we had 20% brigalow cover in every paddock we’d be laughing” 🦤 🌏 🐮 🌳

Holly Bradley detailing a new project designing guidelines for artificial habitat design in mine site rehab at #ESAus2024. Also advertising Masters’ projects on related topics @curtinuniversity.bsky.social! 🦤🌏

@martinemaron.bsky.social on the decades long struggle to stop senseless Queensland agricultural land clearing at #ESAus2024 🦤🌏

Gave the last talk of my PhD at #ESAus2024 on target-based compensation for achieving #biodiversity net gain on Tuesday. In short: only feasible in a few ecoregions with nickel mining in Indonesia, and expansion in the most mined area globally not compatible with 50% intact forest retention 🦤🌏🌐

Great talk just now by @tomlloydnature.bsky.social on target-based compensation. Really interesting framing to inform where compensation is feasible (or not) for net gain outcomes. #ESAus2024

>47,000 tree species were recently added to the IUCN Red List, with 35% assessed as threatened. There's still another ~26,000 to assess, ~1/3 of which remain undescribed, but great to see plants getting more #conservation attention🌿🌳🦤🌍 📷 Antarctic Beech (VU), Tullawallal / Lamington NP, QLD, Aus

Multiple facets of biodiversity are threatened by mining‐induced land‐use change in the Brazilian Amazon
