Planet’s first catastrophic climate tipping point reached, report says, with coral reefs facing ‘widespread dieback’ Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2C ‘as fast as possible’, warm water coral reefs will not remain ‘at any meaningful scale’, a report by 160 scientists from 23 countries warns

Heartbreaking news for the planet's coral reefs. 💔🪸

Restoration offers hope but not salvation - we can’t tech-fix our way out of a heating planet. What’s really needed is courage to end fossil fuels and centre ocean justice before transformation becomes extinction.

Key questions on justice and access in conservation were raised - who’s included, who’s resourced, and what must change to make the field equitable for all.

Between discussions, we explored the beauty of the Garden Route, to reflect and draw inspiration from nature 🌿 Excited for what’s next!

Returning to reality after a special week at Nelson Mandela University for #ICN2025 @iccs.bsky.social @ox.ac.uk 🇿🇦

I got to meet 30 fellow conservation ECRs from all over the world, where we learnt from each other, heard about exciting research projects, shared stories and made new friendships.

World’s oceans fail key health check as acidity crosses critical threshold for marine life Scientists call for renewed global effort to curb fossil fuels as seven of nine planetary boundaries now transgressed The world’s oceans have failed a key planetary health check for the first time, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels, a report has shown. In its latest annual assessment, the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research said ocean acidity had crossed a critical threshold for marine life. Continue reading...

Grateful for the opportunity to present my research at the Planetary Futures conference, wonderfully organised by @sadiahqureshi.bsky.social @duncanwilson78.bsky.social.

Inspiring research of the more-than-human worlds that shape how we see extinction, conservation and life in the anthropocene. 🦤
