Excellent commentary in @Nature on conservation policies & environmental impacts of war @MidoriPaxton #EnvConflictDay #EnvironmentalSecurity #ClimateSecurity

Thanks to @MinAmbienteCo #COP16Colombia is an historic opportunity to begin mainstreaming peace and security into the implementation of the Global #Biodiversity Framework. Our @Nature commentary with @OfficialZSL, @mindovkillya & @WWFColombia explains nature.com/articles/d4158… 🧵

It barely featured in the campaign, but it looks like the world’s most powerful economy is about to elect a climate denying authoritarian who hates clean technology. The chances of global temperatures spiralling out of control just increased substantially.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Baby cheetahs are being torn away from their mothers in Kenya and sold in Somalia for just about Sh10,000. #Starinfographics

If you are in Cali for #COP16 don't miss the @CsosAfrican event on the global nexus of biodiversity loss, climate change and conflict on Tues 29th Oct 10:15. Doug Weir from @ceobs_org will be making introductory remarks with a panel of speakers incl Peace Nexus, @GYBN_CBD

Our recent @Nature commentary with @OfficialZSL, @WWFColombia and @mindovkillya explores how biodiversity is affected by conflict, and how conservation can help build peace. Getting this right would benefit dozens of countries nature.com/articles/d4158… 2/2 #PazConLaNaturaleza

Really interesting (but always troubling) new research on the live cheetah trade from Evangelista et al. in Conservation Biology. Including @CounteringCrime's own @CheetahsRWild Well done, all! @InvasionEcology conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co…

Our new paper out in #ConservationBiology maps illegal trade routes for trafficking live #cheetah cubs from Horn of Africa to Gulf States. A trafficking network model identifies areas where cheetah populations are most at risk to #IllegalWildlifeTrade conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

#COP16 has begun: World leaders MUST address the devastating impacts of #war on our planet's #biodiversity! Let's end the silence on war's environmental toll. True #conservation can only thrive in the context of #peace! nature.com/articles/d4158…


Conservation journals that prioritise research that transcends particular ecosystems or species may not be publishing science with the most impact. Managers and decision-makers need science that can be easily applied to the issues that they face conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/co…

Recommended read in @Nature mentioning NPA's work on environmental considerations in #mineaction. We urge states attending #COP16 to consider the effect of armed conflict on biodiversity, and conservation’s role in promoting peacebuilding. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Ahead of @COP16Oficial on #Biodiversity, @UN @MPTFOffice pooled funding is featured in @Nature Magazine‼️: follow the work of #TheNatureFacility fund, the 'Kibira Peace Forest' and how armed conflict impacts biodiversity: --> nature.com/articles/d4158… --> mptf.undp.org/fund/naf00

The impacts of armed conflict on biodiversity have long been neglected. A UN meeting hosted by Colombia is a golden opportunity to begin changing that go.nature.com/3U7UHQY

In Africa & elsewhere, smaller cats tend to get lost when it comes to research & conservation. In West Africa, these species risk falling into total obscurity as continuing insecurity plagues the region. news.mongabay.com/2024/10/west-a…

Just published 📢 More armed conflicts are under way today than at any point since the Second World War. How can COP16 address the impact of war on biodiversity and the environment? #ZSLPapers nature.com/articles/d4158…


Prof Sarah Durant Reposted

We spoke to @CBCNews about #Gaza's environment: "The intensity of it is an order magnitude greater than we've seen before — because it has been ongoing for so long, because it has been this deliberate effort to cause very severe damage." cbc.ca/news/world/isr…


Here @OfficialZSL we've been working with @ceobs_org @mindovkillya @WWFColombia to draw attention to the need to address the impacts of armed conflict on biodiversity loss at #COP16, including providing conservation support to conflict affected countries nature.com/articles/d4158…
