Don't miss this symposium at #ICCB2023!
James Allan@jamesecology20 Jul 2023
At #ICCB2023 in Kigali next week? Don't miss our symposium on Monday morning at 11:15! I'm presenting my @McKinsey work on scaling up conservation capacity to a place where countries can achieve 30x30, including real-world examples of success...

Could a conservation basic income help safeguard biodiversity? What would it cost now and under a 30x30 scale up? Our new paper digs into some of these questions... nature.com/articles/s41893-0…

New research ~ 45% of the environmental crisis can be solved for a $700b/yr profit! We redid the planetary boundaries analysis, looked at economoc sector contributions to crossing them, and costed the actions to get back in safe levels mckinsey.com/capabilities/su…

Nature in the balance: What companies can do to restore natural capital

Specific corporate actions, including many with a positive return on investment, could help reverse the trend of the depletion of natural capital

Only 5% of Global 500 companies have set targets for biodiversity compared to 83% for carbon. New article by my group at @McKinsey shows there are big opportunities to help companies understand and act on nature #naturepositive #cop15 #ClimateWeekNYC #UNGA mckinsey.com/business-functi…

The European Parliament just voted to label fossil gas as “green” energy. This will delay a desperately needed real sustainable transition and deepen our dependency on Russian fuels. The hypocrisy is striking, but unfortunately not surprising. This is still #NotMyTaxonomy

Anyone at the UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon this week? I'm here with the Blue Nature Alliance doing lots of conservation finance work. If you're around swing me a message :) #Agenda2030 #SaveOurOcean #SDG14 @UNOceanDecade @africa_ci @TheWCS @nature_org @pewtrusts

Replying to @Martin_Ecology
I gather you enjoyed our paper Martin! ;) I guess i'd add that a paper is more than a map or an analysis. The questions it asks and the discussion it prompts are as important. Methods should be assessed in the context of the aims, where sometimes an overlay works fine...

A just published study by @jamesecology highlights "44% of terrestrial land must be ecologically sound to prevent major biodiversity losses" science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

The minimum land area requiring conservation attention to safeguard biodiversity

More land must be protected, and urgently, to prevent major biodiversity losses.

I am a co-author on this new @ScienceMagazine paper led by @jamesecology. It suggests that achieving conservation targets would require action on 44% of the earth’s land. I have been critical of calls for – #30x30, #HalfEarth etc. So why did I join this study? 3 reasons: 🧵

Nearly half of planet’s land in need of ‘conservation attention’ to halt biodiversity crisis theguardian.com/environment/… New study finds 44% of world’s land surface needs increased protection, with 1m wildlife species at risk of extinction @jamesecology @mremae @UNBiodiversity

"64 million km2 - 44% of Earth's land surface - requires conservation to ensure biodiversity is safe." We need to start doing a lot better and getting this right. #conservation #natureneedsmore

Big thanks in particular go to Scott Atkinson @da_schmins who did all the analytical legwork, and Hugh Possingham @HugePossum and Daniel Kissling who took me on as their postdoc to do this work. It was 4 years in the making so thanks for the support and patience! @IBED_UvA

We are not suggesting this land all needs to be locked up in protected areas - there are many levers we can pull as conservationists (see discussion section) - and we need to use the best one for each local context. The places just need to be managed so biodiversity can persist

1.8 billion people live on the land needing conservation that we mapped. So actions must promote the autonomy and self-determination of people who call the land their home - this requires rights based approaches to conservation @EcocideGenocide @RightsResources @kundan_kumarkun
