In Defence of Bird Conservation in a Broken World theornithologist.org/in-defence-o... "Bird conservation is...the structural underpinning of planetary health....[but] We do not protect birds merely because they are useful, but because they belong – because they are co-inhabitants of this Earth."

This study reveals less than 10% of 1,500 Canadian 🇨🇦 species have 30% of their range protected. Meeting Canada's #30x30 target requires a strategic 16%-17% #protectedarea expansion 🌍 #BiodiversityLoss www.facetsjournal.com/doi/full/10....

Keith was a brilliant scientist and wonderful human being. I was lucky to have him on my MSc and PhD advisory committees. And to collaborate with him on a handful of papers, something he excelled at doing with dozens of the scientists he mentored. "Much-missed" indeed. #ornithology #stableisotopes
