🚨 Just over 2 weeks until #ICCB2025! 🌳🌟 I'm excited to share our symposium lineup! Join us to discuss how the sustainable and equitable management of #wildmeat value chains and wildlife creates win-win solutions for #biodiversity, #onehealth, #livelihoods and #foodsecurity. shorturl.at/y51mX

Indeed this would be necessary. This would entail a shift from a pathogenic to a more saluthogenic definition in a dark world requiring a more positive perspective on #health. A new definition of human health is needed to better implement One Health - The Lancet www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

How are health and biodiversity connected in Asia and the Pacific? What insights can the recently published report of the IPBES Nexus Assessment bring? How can the One Health approach help? To find out more, attend this webinar on 22 May. Registration link: un-org-unep.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

Renewable diesel, a biofuel made from vegetable oils and animal fats, is said to be able to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions and easily replace fossil diesel in engines. But this biofuel’s recent sudden surge in production and rapid expansion in applications is alarming environmentalists.

Anybody else going to #ICCB2025 in Brisbane next month? I'll be around with a few #wildmeat experts (@jasminwillis.bsky.social @ehpatel.bsky.social) to showcase some of our work in Asia, the Pacific and beyond! Come and say hi ! More details coming soon :)

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 🦤🌏🌐
