As people get more & more obsessed with ‘big’ data and new tech for gathering loads of data It is worth remembering that science is about asking useful questions & gathering the right data to answer them

These hot days, when I open the windows at home at night, I receive the visit of many of these creatures attracted by the lights. It is the box tree moth (Cydalima perspectalis), invasive species in Europe. Their larvae feeds the leaves of Buxus species leaving them totally defoliated.

What if we measured progress not just by income or life expectancy - but by how well we live with the rest of nature? A major new paper proposes the 'Nature Relationship Index (NRI)' - a bold rethink of development metrics. Here’s why it matters.👇 #NatureRelationshipIndex #GlobalThreads
