Did you know eating salmon has an environmental footprint on the land, and chicken has one in the sea? Our new research mapped disturbance, nutrients, freshwater use and greenhouse gas emissions of chicken and salmon production. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Humanity relies on the biosphere for its existence. If the biosphere was a ship, it would have have a huge hole in it. The ship is sinking. and @ScottMorrisonMP think its make sense to make the hole bigger. just awesome. theguardian.com/environment/…

#Conservation is often hard and many times just too hard – hence the #biodiversity crisis we face. But sometimes it’s just really easy. Like not eating endangered species. great research @leslieamlwch @CarissaJoyKlein nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Honestly 'Extinction: The facts' (BBC1 Sunday night) is going to be AMAZING! I've had the privilege of seeing an advance copy and its a conservation scientist's dream programme. Covers the issues with nuance, depth, honesty but also a valuable dose of optimism.

Professor @juliapgjones @BangorSNS will feature among some of the world’s leading scientists in this new one-hour programme which is presented by Sir David Attenborough.

Mitigating #climate change is crucial for #biodiversity, but #mining materials to produce #renewable #energy will also threaten species and natural places. Our new paper in @NatureComms maps these new mining threats and shows where #conservation is needed rdcu.be/b6Dqb

It is just so obvious how critical protected areas have become for mammal conservation. Without them, many amazing, charismatic species would be simply doomed. conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.c… #biodiversity
