Our study "Elevated fires during COVID-19 lockdown and the vulnerability of protected areas" now published in @naturesustainab. We find a 76-248 % increase in illegal burning in PAs during the 5 first months of the pandemic

We show how funding fads and donor interests have influenced conservation funding in Madagascar and the implications this has had for local conservation actors and the negative circle this has created in weakening state capacity. #OpenAccess

Nice recognition for great leadership by Jeremy on our paper looking at capacity development needs in the conservation sector in Bhutan.
Delighted to announce that the paper on conservation capacity development in a network of stakeholder groups in Bhutan by Jeremy Brooks et al. is Editor's Choice for @EnvConsJournal Vol 51.4 Environmental Conservation | Cambridge Core - bit.ly/4fVypKF

🌍 How have donors allocated conservation funding in a world with shrinking forests and expanding protected areas? Our new paper @PaN_BES explored the trends in South American forests and woodlands: doi.org/10.1002/pan3.10718
Nice work by @SiyuQ @BiogeoBerlin !
Still some time to apply for this postdoc position working with me to advance our knowledge of what makes protected areas work

(1/4) Very happy to see so many people interested in our session on Forest conservation impacts at #FLARE10
Many questions, ideas and information gaps that need to be further investigated.
My take away messages;

Lorenza Fontana talks about forests, fires and war: A comparative study of pre and post-war fire regimes and livelihoods in east Angola #FLARE10
Burned area was 36% lower during war
Rushing to #FLARE10 and see what I stumbled over on the way from my hotel. Difficult not to be super impressed.

Join us on 1 Oct. for #TuesdayswithTeamCounterfactual with Daniela Miteva (Ohio State University) on "Community sawmills save forests: Forest regrowth and avoided deforestation due to vertical integration of wood production in Mexican community forests" at 10am ET / 4pm CEST!
Come work with me to identify factors linked to successful conservation outcomes for protected areas. The idea is to use state of the art qualitative impact evaluation methods #teamcounterfactual. Please share far and wide @idoimpact @SCB_SSWG

Check out new @CatalyzCons paper led by @MattCScience We use epidemiological models to forecast conservation scaling (with surprising accuracy in some cases). Many factors shape trends, but our approach could inform adaptive management to scaling goals 👉doi.org/10.1016/j.oneear.202…
✨Research out today in @OneEarth_CP✨
We show that epidemiological models can accurately infer the mechanism of adoption of conservation initiatives and forecast the trajectory of uptake within populations
