We propose that butterfly monitoring programs can be the foundation for an effective global network of insect monitoring.
To test this, we brought together an international consortium & calculated a “Global Butterfly Index” using the @LPI_Science approach!

The @World_Wildlife 2024 Living Planet Report is out and two new stripes of grey have been added to the Biodiversity Stripes. My blog on visualising the crisis of biodiversity loss: findingnature.org.uk/2024/10…

Monitored wildlife populations have decreased on average by 73% between 1970 and 2020, finds the latest Living Planet Index by our Institute of Zoology – the most comprehensive measure of vertebrate population trends across the globe. zsl.org/news-and-events/news…

Evidence for continued loss of UK biodiversity is clear. And yet, as our new report sets out, we have never had a better understanding of the #StateOfNature & importantly what is needed to fix it. Action.

Delayed responses of vertebrate populations to climate and land-use change can range from <10 to >40 years. New research in #ProcB highlights the need for urgent action to stop declines: ow.ly/b0Yy50NMF5J @f_spooner @LouiseMcRae @AndyPurvisNHM @robin_freeman #biodiversity

The new Living Planet Index report from @WWF & @OfficialZSL is out today.
This is a massive effort of data curation on what's happening to the world's wildlife.
I've just updated all of our @OurWorldInData data & content from the new report.
🧵on the update and what it means

The 2022 #WildlifeComeback Report launches today! Research led by @ZSLScience, this report is a cause for optimism. Wildlife recovery and coexistence is possible and essential for the health of our planet: ow.ly/6nOe50KTWyv

Wildlife is making a comeback in Europe 🦬🦫
Many mammals were in steep decline. Some were close to extinction.
But new data on animal populations over the last half-century shows that many have seen an impressive turnaround.

Here's what our @Ecol_Evol paper says in 4 figs:
Between 1980 & 2017 we estimate abundance decline 17-19% = 560-620m birds in EU. Very large declines in a small no. of common species account for a large % of loss - birds of agriculture declining most🐦⬇️

Happy #WomenInScienceDay! To mark the occasion, @SoapboxScience is releasing a report on how giving #WomenInSTEM a public voice can help tackle cultural & societal issues that may be responsible for gender inequality in STEM - happy reading! bit.ly/36Zu7AY @ZSLScience

V useful primer on representing #uncertainty & #variability in #biodiversity #indicators (incl #SRLI, #LPI, #OHI) from @n_ylime's great team. A timely reminder that the info we base #global #policy on is not as definitive as we might hope

Not happy or easy reading, sadly not surprising, but too important to ignore. This is what we've done to sharks and rays in my lifetime...😭

New research reveals an alarming 71% decline in #shark & #ray populations over the last 50 years, primarily due to #overfishing

our new @biorxivpreprint led by @LouiseMcRae on the trends of utilized species. we show that used populations are declining more rapidly than non-used and *importantly* that management has a positive impact: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… @ZSLScience @Macroecology @unepwcmc
