Forests aren't just about carbon. Failing to account for the non-carbon effects of forests leads to a systematic undervaluing of climate services and results in inequitable allocation of responsibilities & resources for #ClimateAction.

Really exciting to see this piece by @JanePalmerComms on deforestation and climate change driven heat impacts in the tropics featuring work by @UWDEOHS @UWAtmosSci @UW_PHI @nature_org @Nature_Climate @DukeEnvironment @GPS_UCSD @teevrat and others.
Great piece by @JanePalmerComms in BioScience (doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biac0…) on our recent work related to the impacts of rising temperatures associated with tropical #deforestation and climate change.

Scaling tree cover restoration that prioritizes smallholder rights and benefits should be a central concern for those interested in NCS/NBS.
Read why in our recent article.

Very excited to share a new publication on freshwater community-based conservation programs out now in JEM, led by Nathan Karres @nature_org authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…
Our review finds:
•While the available research broadly represents many geographies and project types, there are also many notable gaps.
•there are positive effects for different components of environmental and human well-being outcomes, but generally weak evidence.

Want to work at the intersection of conservation science practice? @nature_org is hiring an Implementation Social Scientist to study and use lessons from social science to improve conservation outcomes and equity!

Really excited to share that our book (with so many amazing coauthors!) on tenure security and sustainable development is out and open access! The book provides both foundational and topical chapters of tenure security. link.springer.com/book/10.10…

The next paper in our study on environmental discourse on Twitter using cutting-edge methods. Study led by @harpactes provides foundational insights for enviro advocates seeking to reach environmentally-minded Twitter users!

Thanks to @jamesNESW for a fabulous write-up of our project describing six environmental personas on Twitter. You can read the full article (free, open access) here: doi.org/10.1002/fee.2510
From technocrats to smart alecks, an analysis of more than a billion tweets suggests that, when it comes to environmental issues, people fit into six distinct online personas. Which one are you?

Thanks to @marilynjthomsen at @pomonacollege for this fantastic description of our project analyzing environmental personas on Twitter: pomona.edu/news/2022/06/09-s…
A nice, brief overview of our paper can also be found on @nature_brains thanks to the wonderful @ccbyington. blog.nature.org/science/scie…
Excited to share a cutting edge project that examines and identifies “personas”/groups of Twitter users that are environmentally minded and follow eNGOs etc. We found six types of personas from data on >500k users. shorturl.at/jsCK9
Awesome work by @savymack leading a diverse team of experts from conservation, pub health, fire, and other areas to outline history of wildfire, rx fires, and it’s impacts on nature and nature. Figuring out how these groups can work together is a critical advance!

Impacts from conservation projects are not static. The impermanence of outcomes applies equally to conservation projects that, when they end, fail to generate significant change.

Does gender equality lead to more pro social outcomes? An important q for procedural equity in commons mgmt. Checkout our new paper in @WorldDevJournal where we conducted a field experiment by randomizing participants to single and mixed gender groups.
Ultimately, we believe it is critically important to continue testing assumptions to be able to design programs that truly integrate and elevate womens empowerment in conservation and development.
