Dr @sascriven #RSPO recommendations-to minimise bioD losses in oil palm landscapes, high quality HCVs should be restored & digitised maps of HCVs should be made publically available to provide opportunities for connectivity to adjacent plantations

Looking at HCV area size and quality, raises the question 'are #HCV areas large enough and of good enough quality to support #biodiversity?' #RT15

#HCV areas have the potential to improve connectivity if reforested - up to 2.7x better connected for some #species @sascriven #conservation #RT15
