New research from one of our SEnSOR-linked projects: Fleiss et al. investigate the potential co-benefits of conservation set-asides in @RSPOtweets oil palm plantations for biodiversity and carbon storage. sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #sustainablepalmoil @UniOfYork @JaneHillYork
"Wading through the swamp: what does tropical #peatlandrestoration mean to national level stakeholders in Indonesia?"- New paper from one of our SEnSOR-linked projects out now! @SEARRP @RSPOtweets onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

At 4pm today our SEnSOR researcher @sascriven will be giving a talk @DICE_Kent about our work on improving biodiversity and connectivity in oil palm landscapes. Do go along if you’re free! @RSPOtweets @SEARRP @mattstruebig #sustainablepalmoil #oilpalmresearch #tropicalecology

Fascinating presentation from Dr Jen Lucey @SensorProgramme about if RSPO certification has an impact on Smallholders' decisions to expand or intensify production. #RSPO #rt16 #scienceimpacts

So excited to be part of this #sciencepolicy exchange on #riparianreserves with the Sabah State government @HMTF_LOMBOK & @SEARRP xitter.cf/HMTF_LOMBOK/status/968…
New collaborations with the Sabah state government! Our scientists & policy directors from @SEARRP met with the Department for Irrigation & Drainage and Environment Protection Department to discuss #riparianreserves #oilpalm #sciencepolicy #scienceforpolicy #knowledgeexchange

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 – at Kuta, Indonesia

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

Datuk @darrelwebb welcome address at #RT15 "Changing behaviour of the masses is difficult. A nudge just makes it easier for people to do the right thing, but we are committed to trying. " – at Bali, Indonesia

In China, we’ve made been making great strides with a strong increase in the number of #supplychain certified facilities there: 40% to be exact.” @darrelwebb #RT15 #RSPOImpacts – at Kuta, Indonesia

The reality is - the biggest wins will not come from the “already good, becoming better”. It will come from the worst, raising their game.” @darrelwebb #RT15 – at Kuta, Indonesia
