Congratulations! Glad we (@dv_conservinit and team) were able to contribute initial location and design insights, in consultation with @DfoJorhat. The canopy bridges are essential as things stand, but rerouting the rail line is indeed the ultimate solution.

In the meanwhile, #artificialcanopybridges at upto seven locations within the #HollongaparGibbonSanctuary has been proposed in a report submitted by @wii_india to @assamforest. Design considerations and installation/monitoring protocol are also mentioned. wii.gov.in/images/images/doc…

Elephants respond fine-scale to human numbers and activity, says @ParvathiKPrasad at #ICCB2023 Human behaviour towards elephants can shape landscape connectivity, and can move us towards conflict or towards coexistence. @DonADriscoll @DeakinCIE @varunrgoswami @dv_conservinit

An exciting output from @BiangSyiem's PhD and our collaboration with @DeakinCIE @DonADriscoll! Wooded lands in the agricultural mosaic help support biodiversity in heterogeneous landscapes with high forest cover. 🧵 and 🔗 👇🏽

We highlight the importance of wooded land uses in agricultural landscapes for forest bird conservation. However, forest cover decline in the region will need to be monitored as it can impact the conservation effectiveness of wooded land uses.

Our latest publication in Biological Conservation highlights the importance of paying attention to crops such as cashew that cause apparently small-scale yet consistent deforestation and biodiversity loss in the tropics. @JaniceSHLee sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

For human-wildlife coexistence, people need to be good with wildlife in shared spaces that suit wildlife. It was a pleasure to work with @SusanneMVogel @dv_conservinit and colleagues to explore this idea for 🐘🦏 in the Maasai Mara. Check out our paper, fresh off the press! 👇🏼

Not possible to balance biodiversity conservation and wellbeing of people? We don't think so! Check out our effort towards achieving dual conservation and wellbeing goals by prioritising areas important for both 🧵👇🏽

Wonderful to have been a part of this collaborative effort to reimagine a future for India based on an increasingly recognised fact: our well-being is inextricably tied to the health of our diverse ecosystems, the life they support, and the services they provide. Take a 👀 🧵👇🏼
