🌊 Big news for ocean protection!

The High Seas Treaty (BBNJ) has been introduced in Parliament today.
Once ratified, it could safeguard marine life across nearly two-thirds of the world’s oceans.

Natural soundscapes are associated with mental well-being via capacity-building and capacity-restoring pathways Soundscapes from natural areas are an important cultural ecosystem service that can promote greater mental health and well-being. However, the mediati…

New @eprg-surrey.bsky.social article by @konraduebel.bsky.social, Eleanor Ratcliffe & @melissamarselle.bsky.social finds natural soundscapes indirectly influence mental well-being via perceived biodiversity and restoring and building capacity mediators www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🌿🔊 New research find natural soundscapes—especially those rich in bird song—boost mental well-being.

But how? 🧠✨

We found that these soundscapes work first through perceptions of bird diversity, and then building (awe) & restoring (stress reduction, restorativeness) capacity pathways.

Scientific Publications Since 1997, CRRU has published a plethora of research papers, government reports, conference proceedings and university theses.

To read more about the extensive research being carried out by CRRU on these whales, go to crru.org.uk/research/pub... and type "minke" in the search box! 🧪

Having worked with these whales for almost 30 years now, CRRU's ongoing studies are incredibly important for the future protection of these presently "data-deficient" (and still commercially exploited) coastal balaenopterid whales that we so dearly cherish and love. 🐋

This summer has been a poor time for minke whales in the Southern Trench Moray Firth MPA. There has been a notable lack of available sandeels for the whales, and until last week, we had absolutely zero encounters with the whales inshore. 🧪

Professor Tom Oliver In this lively talk, Tom Oliver argues that our current fixes for the environmental crisis are often ineffective and even make things worse. Genuine solutions need to go beyond… Fixing ourselves to fix nature? Inner change as a neglected lever to tackle environmental crisis

🌍 Are tech & economic fixes enough to solve the environmental crisis? In this energising talk, Tom Oliver argues real change needs a shift in culture, identity & our connection to nature. 🧠✨ Hopeful examples included. Watch the recording. @uniofreading.bsky.social @ecioxford.bsky.social

Comment: Rethinking behavior change interventions in policymaking

📢 New commentary out today in Nature Human Behaviour!
We argue that behavior change interventions often suffer from a one-sided success focus. But failures may reveal structural barriers people face.

What can conservation learn from Indigenous knowledge systems? Here, @helinajolly.bsky.social explores how Indigenous worldviews can challenge dominant models of conservation & biodiversity management, where wild animals are seen not as resources to manage, but as kin, teachers & spiritual beings.
