Venerdì 30 gennaio 2026 alla Sapienza (Edificio di Zoologia), si terrà una tavola rotonda sull’eredità di Jane Goodall tra ricerca sul campo, #etologia ed etica della #conservazione 🐒
Un confronto aperto al pubblico tra esperti di diversi settori e studenti 🌱

🚨 Protected Planet has launched the World Database on Protected and Conserved Areas (WDPCA) - a new and unified database, merging the World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) and the World Database on Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (WD-OECM).

A data collection mission that began in 2012 is finally released as AVONICHE.

Designed as a companion to AVONET bird trait database and updated to Avilist taxonomy, it’s an Open Access dataset providing updated diets and a detailed breakdown of foraging behaviours used by all bird species.

Yesterday I attended a conference in memory of my husbands grandmother, Gloria Campos Venuti, and her scientific legacy. She published over 300 papers that shaped our understanding of the health impacts of radiation - which shaped European regulations and the nuclear energy landscape #WomeninSTEM

Special Issue: Impact Evaluation for Conservation: Bridging Research and Practice: Conservation Science and Practice: Vol 7, No 11 <em>Conservation Science and Practice</em> journal publishes papers related to the science, policy, planning, and practical aspects of conserving biological diversity.

The @conservationsp.bsky.social Special Issue on Impact Evaluation for Conservation is now out!

This issue has lots of guidance and examples on how to advance IE in our field - something I have become very passionate about ✨

What is a unit of nature? Measurement challenges in the emerging biodiversity credit market | Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences Bending the curve of biodiversity loss requires the business and financial sectors to disclose and reduce their biodiversity impacts and help fund nature recovery. This has sparked interest in developing generalizable, standardized measurements of ...

The war in Ukraine is changing plausible future socioeconomic scenarios leading to an unexplored outlook for biodiversity We discuss how recent policy changes to global trade routes, agriculture, and energy production in response to the escalation of the war in Ukraine are impacting socioeconomic scenarios used to set a...

Wondering how recent geopolitical changes may be effecting SSPs and global biodiversity? A transition from one SSP to another usually require a period that is chaotic & turbulent before arriving at a new normal. Are we in the midst of a change in our trajectory?
