1/ (Another) New Paper Alert 📢
How well do #IndigenousLands and #ProtectedAreas maintain #ForestIntegrity across the #Tropics? And given long human-use influence in tropical forests, how are these areas associated with land-use intensity?

Our @jocelynesze @ScienceShef has done research that shows #Indigenous lands are generally good for conservation.
In this interview she talks about that, and how colonial thinking can hinder local peoples from managing their land.

NEW PAPER out in @EcographyJourna from my work @DICE_Kent. We show forest conversion in Wallacea causes replacement of endemic species by a cohort of shared ubiquitous species with potential negative consequences for ecosystem resilience. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… RTs appreciated.

Despite a lack of data, some think a ban on #wildlife trade would benefit the environment and #biodiversity.
However, bans could be terrible - for people and ecosystems.
Find out more in this interview with @OMorton212 (@aps @sheffielduni).

💡770 million people lack access to adequate electricity.
But how can we empower them without increasing emissions? Grantham Scholar @reenasayani @SSoA_news thinks solar mini-grids might be the answer⚡️

'I am especially interested in how ideas rise on the government agenda and gain attention from policy makers – and why they sometimes slip away.'
Did you see this interview with @mateko3? A must-read for anyone hoping to influence policy in the UK.
ALT A photo of Gloria Mensah alongside a quote about the need for scientists to understand social and political barriers to new technology being taken up by policy makers.

What can the ups and downs of carbon capture tech in UK policy teach scientists?
Gloria Mensah @mateko3 (@ShefUniPolitics @CBESheffield @sheffieldpsy) says it can help researchers understand how policy gets made - & what they can do to influence it.
