The IUCN Red List has long been the globally recognized gauge for assessing how close to extinction a given species is.

An improvement in the species’ conservation status from a higher to a lower threat category can signal conservation success. But a recent study says this must be done cautiously.

Getting off US tech: a guide I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Great news from the World Heritage Committee in France. The world’s largest sand island will now be known globally by its Traditional name—K’gari.
This week the name K’gari was formally adopted in honour of the Butchulla people, who have cared for and belonged to this Country for over 60,000 years.

Half of resources in threatened species conservation plans are allocated to research and monitoring - Nature Communications How to best allocate limited resources for conserving imperilled species is a difficult challenge. Here the authors analyse data on over 2000 threatened species from USA, Australia, and New Zealand, f...

½ of resources in threatened species #conservation plans are allocated to research & monitoring

"... overall, species with higher proportions of budgets allocated to research & monitoring have poorer recovery outcomes"

Managing invasive threats across complex landscapes with limited budgets is tough. Check out this is a cool new statistical method to balance ecological, spatial, and economic trade-offs. 🌐 @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social

Participated in the @flindersuniversity.bsky.social Sustainability Policy Impact Masterclass yesterday in the city campus at Festival Plaza

Good advice from everyone, especially from Deputy Premier of South Australia Dr Susan Close, and South Australia Senator Andrew McLachlan

Was invited to give a #NAIDOC Week (naidoc.org.au) presentation today to the Department of Home Affairs about our work with epicaustralia.org.au and @ciehf.bsky.social

Very welcoming and interested mob. Thank you.

Much of the invasive species literature confuses causes (mechanisms) & consequences (impacts)

We introduce a comprehensive typology of 19 impact types across 6 levels of biological organisation (individuals to ecosystems)

Melting ice will strengthen the monsoon in northern Australia – but cause drier conditions north of the Equator

Sediments in a lagoon near Darwin hold traces of changes to monsoonal rains over 150,000 years. Here’s what it means as Earth’s polar ice melts.
