Protected Areas generate a huge amount of cultural value; our latest paper (sciencedirect.com/science/ar…) uses social media photos and machine learning to map cultural value across the length of Brazil's iconic coastline.

Here in PNAS we show that Amazonian sustainable-use protected areas catalyze many co-benefits resulting in dramatic improvements in local resident welfare well beyond biodiversity protection. Led by

Binge-watching, baking, and birding - In a new paper @ESAFrontiers we show (using #culturomics) that during the 1st #Covid lockdown people were more interested in common garden birds doi.org/10.1002/fee.2374 @IvanJaric @prjepson @bapinheiro @rahcorreia85 @ana_malhado @LadleRichard
ALT Time-series of relative search volume in Google Trends entries for the first 48 weeks of the year for (from top to bottom) European robin, common blackbird, Eurasian blue tit, common chaffinch, and great tit, in Italy, France, Germany, the UK, and Sweden. Blue lines display means for the years 2016–2019, and red lines are the equivalent values for 2020. Time-series were fitted with LOESS smoothing. Gray ranges represent confidence intervals, and yellow vertical blocks represent lockdown periods for each country.

Environmental threats and extreme poverty are deeply intertwined in MPAs in Brazil, and tackling inequalities might be a prerequisite for effective conservation. See our latest study: authors.elsevier.com/c/1c5vU…

Totally agree with Bill about this. For a slightly different perspective check out our article from 2014: Multilinguismo nas ciências ambientais: Ahora ya! (don't worry... it's in English)

The domination of English as the language of science can hinder some scientists for whom English is not their first language and result in research being ignored. Article discusses some solutions to this important problem including work of @tatsuya_amano bit.ly/3mpvLRM

Conservation managers need long term data to make good decisions... that's why we need long term ecological research. Check out our ground-breaking project on the 'Coral Coast' in Alagoas.

The pandemic has disrupted conservation work and funding, with potential repercussions for years to come, according to conservation groups. But we can seize the opportunity to push for stronger action to protect the natural world.

Conservation Biogeography — a confusing and redundant discipline or a socially relevant and intellectually adventurous research area? Katinas & Ladle respond to a recent critique by Driscoll et al.

Conservation is complicated and there are no 'silver bullets'. We certainly need to increase reforestation here in Brazil, but as this article shows, doing it badly could be worse than doing nothing.

If we are serious about avoiding future pandemics, we need to ensure the natural world has space to thrive - time to get behind the `Nature Needs Half` movement. natureneedshalf.org/
