🌿 New publication alert! Under the exceptional analytical lead of @sandraeckert.bsky.social and grounded in fieldwork by Phetsaphone Thanasack, we mapped #ecosystemservice supply & demand across Savannakhet Province, #Laos. A first of its kind for the region. 🧵

In case you missed these: some great papers appeared in the last few days that address the relation between monetary wealth and environmental degradation/protection 🧵👇

🌱 New paper out! We challenge the long-standing assumption that #poverty drives #biodiversity loss — and explore why this narrative persists in conservation practice. Time to rethink who is really driving the crisis. 📉🌍 🔗 bit.ly/3ZqNvlC #openaccess 🧵👇 #conservation #biodiversity #equity #PBLA

A telecoupling lens on our artisanal #gold project in the #Peruvian Amazon, led us to investigate whether #Swiss actors involved in the gold market would be ready to source responsibly produced gold. These insights are important to shape interventions that aim to improve the reality of miners.

It‘s extremely uncommon to experience a rainy Christmas in #Senegal. Today is an exception - or maybe the new normal? In any case, it‘s the topic of the day here in Saly. Merry Christmas to you all!

Glad for the invitation to the @ethzurich.bsky.social RESPONSE symposium where I stressed the need to approach sustainable land use in tropical forest frontiers through both local and global action, mobilising system, target and transformation knowledge.

1/ 🚨 Many transdisciplinary food or land system research projects stumble because they overlook a crucial aspect: values. Without addressing the values that underpin their goals, researchers risk losing stakeholder trust and derailing project outcomes. 🧵

Happy New Year from #thegambia! I hope that the fisherfolks, going out in these small pirogues, will continue to persist despite facing serious threats to their livelihoods from commercial foreign vessels, sand mining, climate change and so on! 🎣🐟🐠🐡

📕Our new paper reflecting on different methods used in trans-disciplinary and transformative research is out! Thank you for the great lead @minnakaljonen.bsky.social! 📝

For our new Biodiversa+ project on Bridging Values for Just Conservation I had the honour to sign a collaboration agreement with Dean Dr. Chanda Vongsombath of the Faculty of Environmental Sciences at the National University of #Laos. Excited for our joint research on #nametphoulouey National Park!

To start my presence here, I’m happy to share an important piece of thought brought forward by two excellent female scientists from #Madagascar, one of them my long time collaborator O. Ravaka Andriamihaja. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
