Professor at GLOBE, University of Copenhagen | Head of the Biodiversity Section
Today we publish a new paper at The British Medical Journal on the links between biodiversity, climate and health in relation to the hashtag#COP30 in Brazil Here we argue that climate resilience depends on nature—and both are vital for the health of people.

Harms of introduced large herbivores outweigh benefits to native biodiversity - Nature Communications
Using impact assessment frameworks, this study shows that the introduction of large mammalian herbivores outside their native range has predominantly caused negative impacts on native biodiversity globally. The authors advise caution regarding their further intentional introduction for conservation purposes.
