This is figure 2, which shows two perspectives on land use as a driver of biodiversity loss and disease emergence.

Introducing Nature Reviews Biodiversity! This Review explores the relationship between emerging infectious diseases and biodiversity loss, and how both are connected to global environmental changes in the Anthropocene. https://go.nature.com/42fzUQk 🧪

Extinction of experience among ecologists Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

"There has been a progressive decline in fieldwork-based research and education in ecology over recent decades", precisely at a time when we most urgently need a better understanding of how natural systems work. So sad.

We’re holding an #interdisciplinary PhD course on ‘science of #conservation’ in South Africa this March.

It involves a range of lectures, group-work activities and a mini-project applying social and ecological tools in N Drakensberg.

Women are under-represented at senior levels in #academia globally, & across all #science 🧪 disciplines, as shown by these "scissor-shaped curves" ✂️

So how can we ever achieve #gender #equality?

We discuss various strategies in this #Cell Commentary

🐺 Next week, Bern Convention members vote on the EU's proposal to reduce wolf protections.

Science says otherwise:
1️⃣ Only 3 of 9 sub-populations are "Least Concern."
2️⃣ Just 1 of 7 populations is favorable.
3️⃣ Wolves average 1 x 218 km² is still vulnerable.
