Atención investigadores jóvenes: estamos organizando un taller sobre política forestal y políticas de derechos territoriales indígenas (un día cada uno) en Chile y nos encantaría incluir su investigación. Únase a nosotros para una rica discusión.
Interesante oportunidad para estudiantes de postgrado y egresados recientes que trabajen en temas relacionados a tierras indígenas en Chile

The media plays a crucial role in protecting the Amazon rainforests. When the spotlight is on environmental destruction, politicians will act. Even those openly hostile to the environmental agenda.
🌳 Just accepted 🌳 in @JaereAere:
"Going Viral: Public Attention and Environmental Action in the Amazon" by Rafael Araujo (@AraujoCRRafael), Francisco Costa (@_FranciscoCosta), and Teevrat Garg (@teevrat)

So happy this paper is finally published! Working together with a transdisciplinary group of scholars and practitioners, we tried to identify ways that zero-deforestation palm oil supply chains could be transformed to better include smallholder producers doi.org/10.1525/elementa.202…
More details in this great thread by @tropicalscience xitter.cf/tropicalscience/status…
Smallholder farmers are key producers of tropical forest risk commodities. In our @elementascience paper, we ask: what challenges do zero deforestation commitments pose to Indonesian oil palm farmers & how can palm oil mills help overcome those barriers? doi.org/10.1525/elementa.202…

So excited to see this news. I first visited the Cochamó Valley when I was starting my PhD research in Chile. Both the landscape and people fighting to protect it were truly inspiring. Glad to see it get the protection it deserves nytimes.com/2024/04/30/clima…

~10 more days to submit your abstracts to @GlobalLandP's Open Science Meeting in Oaxaca!
event.fourwaves.com/osm2024/…
Come spend the week in Oaxaca talking science with an incredibly friendly, interdisciplinary and brilliant community of land system scientists!
If you're working on research that explores the additionality of payments for ecosystem services or offsets, consider submitting a talk to my session "209R Policy innovation to ensure additionality from payments for ecosystem services"
Or, if you're conducting research into supply chain interventions to slow deforestation, @tropicalscience, Holly Gibbs and I would to have you join this session:

What unfolds when ecosystems shift across national borders due to climate change?
Thrilled to share our latest paper in @nature, which delves into the consequences of these climate-driven biome migrations on human well-being.

A thread 🧵
Robert Heilmayr retweeted
This cool paper led by @econ_servation came out in Science this week. Robert highlights the key contributions in this thread. I want to just add some broader context on the empirics and connections to the literature on socio-economic adaptation
Which forests will be most vulnerable to a hotter, drier planet? New research published in @ScienceMagazine with @ClimateFran, @dudney_joan shows that the wet and hot portions of species’ ranges may be the most sensitive to climate change.
