Dr Kenneth F. Rijsdijk

Prof Sjoerd Kluiving explaining the principles of #regenerative leadership in the panel discussion of #ESG symposium. Chair Jessica Peters EGS officer, Linea Bingel municipality of #Amsterdam and Ankie van Wersch director SMEs NL: key is E of #biosphere inclusive!

on the other hand there is evidence that by integrating ESG practices will be very profitable, both from
market and consumer perspectives! #Asia is now taking the lead embracing ESGs. Great and inspiring talk!

Fiona Watson vice president of the @wbcsd.bsky.social world business council for sustainable development, talking about 360 degrees risks that companies should be aware of and that #ESG anticipate, ignoring them may it put a company on critical risk.

Jessica Peters giving a keynote on ESG days

Jessica Peters #CSR manager and member of #ClubofRome CSR, co-owner of an investing fund, introducing the #ESGdays emphasising that companies who embrace #ESG s are more resilient and future prepared than oldskool linear company practices.

ESG Environmental, Social, and Governance: standards used to evaluate a company's impact on the #environment, its relationships with stakeholders, and its governance practices. These criteria are often used in investing to assess the sustainability and ethical impact of #companies. wikipedia

Now with entrepreneur and systemthinker Jorge Sousa, architect Renee Wansdronk, Prof Sjoerd Kluiving at the @ESGdays launching our #regenerative business leadership initiative! It’s about exploiting the regenerative power of the #biosphere without undermining it! esgdays.com

🧑‍🎓🤖 How Students Use AI in Coursework

A study found students use AI for writing and research, balancing editing with argument development. Many remain sceptical, preferring to refine ideas rather than rely on AI entirely.

#Rewilding #atolls will boost ecosystem resilience to #sealevelrise and make them more adaptable to #global-warming. Make them #rat free and remove planted coconut palm.

#NAEM2025 🧪Prof Yadvinder Malhi found on pristine atolls a high production of plant roots 40 km per square meter. Coconut islands have much lower nitrogen flux: in and out ~115 N kg /(ha yr) versus 237 in and out 439 kg /(ha yr); offshore also the #corals thrive better at pristine atolls.

#NAEM2025 🧪 Prof Yadvinder Malhi warns that we should not “carbonise” the role of larger animals, avoid to reduce them as means to reduce carbon as their role is more complex and they may also release carbon; #carbon-sequestration is a more long term delayed process over decades…

#NAEM2025 🧪 Prof Yadvinder Malhi
produced a key paper on the importance of larger animals in ecosystems ranging from reducing #fire-regime, open the forest, or increase nutrient cycles in the arctic through faeces productions.

Prof Yadvinder Malhi on atoll research showing a atoll of the Chagos archipelago.

#NAEM2025 🧪 Prof Yadvinder Malhi explains that human induced #rat invasions of atolls led to a collapse of #atoll ecosystem as birds and eggs were predated. A pristine atoll is therefore much more biodiverse. Animals play a critical role in shaping ecosystems and climate change #adaptation.

#NAEM2025 🧪now Prof Yadvinder Malhi Director @naturerecovery.bsky.social on the critical role of animal wildlife in climate change adaptation. Starting with #atolls which may look like paradises,but many are converted in #palm monocultures and became abandoned, resulted in a coconut dominant forest.

#NAEM2025 🧪 Dr van der Rijden identified how much #marine habitat types are protected and found it is not even across the marine habitats of the #EU seas. If #MPAs are closed, that could result into a fishery shift in to vulnerable #marine-habitats. Spatial analysis is therefore essential.

#NAEM2025 🧪 Dr Karen van der Rijden points out that fisheries trawling is very damaging to the marine communities, but she assessed whether moving #fisheries out of currently protected marine protected areas (MPA) would not make the impact worse in other areas?

Emma is a PhD student - jointly supervised with @drken-rysdyk.bsky.social - who studies the effect of grazing by large herbivores on soil biodiversity and C and N cycling. She's also using modelling and LIDAR to look at landscape processes - stay tuned!

#NAEM2025 phd candidate Robin Lexmond Hedgerows increased insect abundances accross all taxonomic groups!

#NAEM2025 PhD candidate Robin Lexmond studied insects in the #Ooijpolder, a region where #hedgerows were restored. Lexmond had to correct for weather conditions and found lo and behold: hedgerows led to a doubling of insects than without hedges, and higher abundances compared to flower strip!

#NAEM2025 PhD candidate Robin Lexmond @radboud university is researching #hedgerows and their effect on #biodiversity. In the Netherlands a lot of hedgerows were removed since 1950s. This may have led to a decrease in insects since that period.

#NAEM2025 🧪 Dr Veldhuis advocates to remove attractive crops such as #maize nearby the reserves. Triple I approach 1) interdisciplinary (#anthropologists) 2) intersectional 3) international #Global-North #Global-South exchange knowledge and skills. Check out Veldhuis’ lab: wildcolab.com

#NAEM2025 🧪 Dr Veldhuis describes a successful water management program in #South-Africa as solution to manage #invasive water-plants by empowering local
people to manage the water resources www.dffe.gov.za/working-wate.... And get natural fires into the landscape again, to remove invasive plants.

#NAEM2025 🧪 Dr Veldhuis another problem are the invasive plants invading the #Serengeti reserves and they facilitate predators such as #hyaena which are hiding within thickets of Prosopis #invasive-plants, increases #human-wildlife conflicts.
