Thank you 😅 I feel silly now 😂

No 🤣

📣 Are you an ECR looking for work in conservation or ecology research? I've created a feed to track opportunities here 👇

The feed is tracking mentions of "postdoc" or "research fellow/associate", and "biodiversity", "conservation", "ecosystem", "ecology", or "landscape" ~with varying success

Ripper of a talk by Brodie Crouch on maintaining brigalow cover in grazing landscapes at #ESAus2024 just now.. in Brodie’s words, “if we had 20% brigalow cover in every paddock we’d be laughing” 🦤 🌏 🐮 🌳

Holly Bradley detailing a new project designing guidelines for artificial habitat design in mine site rehab at #ESAus2024. Also advertising Masters’ projects on related topics @curtinuniversity.bsky.social! 🦤🌏

@martinemaron.bsky.social on the decades long struggle to stop senseless Queensland agricultural land clearing at #ESAus2024 🦤🌏

Gave the last talk of my PhD at #ESAus2024 on target-based compensation for achieving #biodiversity net gain on Tuesday. In short: only feasible in a few ecoregions with nickel mining in Indonesia, and expansion in the most mined area globally not compatible with 50% intact forest retention 🦤🌏🌐

Thanks for coming and the kind words Dan!!

Great talk just now by @tomlloydnature.bsky.social on target-based compensation. Really interesting framing to inform where compensation is feasible (or not) for net gain outcomes. #ESAus2024

>47,000 tree species were recently added to the IUCN Red List, with 35% assessed as threatened. There's still another ~26,000 to assess, ~1/3 of which remain undescribed, but great to see plants getting more #conservation attention🌿🌳🦤🌍

Multiple facets of biodiversity are threatened by mining‐induced land‐use change in the Brazilian Amazon Aim Mining is increasingly pressuring areas of critical importance for biodiversity conservation, such as the Brazilian Amazon. Biodiversity data are limited in the tropics, restricting the scope fo...
