Anyone fancy reviewing a paper? A mesocosm study testing the effects of aquatic plant management on fish? 🚫🌱➡️🐟 Bonus points if you can review quickly! Let me know and I'll send you an official invitation 📨
It's Nature Day at #COP29 🇦🇿
"We are not powerless to manage the impacts of climate change on species... [but] conservation work must be underpinned by broader societal transformation to mitigate climate change"

Brilliantly led by @T_A_Worthington, @Yasmine_Gatt and @RowanaWalton - well done for corralling such a huge group of co-authors 😁

The opacity of academic prose arises from the epistemological imperative to operationalize disciplinary jargon, facilitating intra-specialized discourse while obfuscating heterogenous interpretive accessibility and perpetuating a recursive dialectic of erudition and exclusion.

Led by @OfficialZSL we have developed a conservation strategy for extinct in the wild Mexican Pupfishes (Cyprinodontidae). This strategy seeks to ensure their long-term ex situ conservation, repatriation to Mexico, and reintroduction to springs in the Nuevo León desert.
A huge thank you 🙏 to all 34 interviewees, and to our 'guinea pig' interviewees. Also thank you reviewers and editors (sorry we missed you out of the acknowledgements in the paper; your input was greatly appreciated 🤩).

Tree planting and biodiversity offsets give the impression we can just create nature, or replace what we destroy. But we cannot
No technology can create a 500 yr old tree, the only thing that can is 500 yrs
Nature is irreplaceable, and we must treat it as such

Interesting article on the role of water buffalo 🐃 (and other large herbivores 🐎) in wetland restoration:

#Seabird decines in the news. See our new paper for ideas to help seabirds cope with one major pressure: climate change.

TLDR: Practical action + policy change + research. Supported by CC mitigtion. Need investment, coordination, large-scale thinking.
