Great to see the latest #LivingPlanetReport out today, although the statistics on the state of biodiversity make for grim reading. With a @UCLCBER contribution on drivers of biodiversity change on land, led by Adrienne Etard and @jjwilliams924. wwf.org.uk/living-planet-rep…

How can we halt future #MassExtinction and protect our #Wildlife? A new #study led by @Leclere_David published in @nature and featured in @WWF’s latest #LivingPlanetReport proposes pathways to bend the curve of #biodiversity loss. bit.ly/2Rp5Z2J

Global animal populations have on average declined by 68% since 1970, according to the @WWF #LivingPlanetReport 2020 involving @UCLCBER researchers. Prof @GMMace says conservation actions alone won't be enough to "bend the curve on biodiversity loss" bbc.co.uk/news/science-envir…

Over the last weeks, a substantial amount of new evidence has become available about immunity to #SARSCoV2. This information can be difficult to process and integrate. As such I felt it may be helpful to write a thread to summarise the information and provide some context.

Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic could help avert global warming and mass species extinction – University of Exeter & University of Cambridge: bit.ly/3e7tLJ7 NEW today on Viral Stories #ClimateCrisis #COVIDー19

Lessons from the Covid-19 pandemic, such as early intervention & lifestyle changes for the collective good, should be applied to the environmental crises of global heating & species extinction, say scientists including Prof @GMMace @UCLCBER @uclbiosciences ucl.ac.uk/news/2020/jul/lear…

Listen to the scientists: „the spread of coronavirus shares common characteristics with both global heating and the impending „sixth mass extinction" of #biodiversity

We've written to @DefraGovUK to offer our view on the new Environmental Land Manager Scheme (ELM).
It's a particularly good letter if you're interested in understanding how we see the role of climate policies alongside broader environmental objectives.

In this working paper we (@AlisonFairbrass, @GMMace) propose an integrated Natural Capital Indicator Framework (NCIF)—a structure for countries to select indicators to assess their use of and dependence on natural capital. They are designed as a "Front-end" for #SEEA accounts.

Yes, a great thread. Our analogy to 2C target is communicable & provocative, but needs wider context- must be accompanied by other targets (e.g. NCPs, actions), just as adaptation and finance targets accompany the 2C climate target @GMMace @tnewbold31 @RichDGregory3 @unepwcmc
Great @RSPBScience thread here about the proposal for an extinction rate target and it's wider context. Paper science.sciencemag.org/conte…

A big paper is out today in @ScienceMagazine - Could a direct, simple target such as the 2°C Global Temperature Target for Climate Change work as a global biodiversity target? science.sciencemag.org/conte…

Congratulations to @simonstuartSE for his well-earned @BluePlanetPrize!
We've been fortunate to draw on his many talents since 1985 as director of our species programme, Chair of @IUCNssc and contributor to the @IUCNRedList. Kudos to Simon!

Our planet is home to countless different kinds of life that coexist in remarkably interconnected ways. But what exactly is #biodiversity, and why does it matter? Professor Yadvinder Malhi FRS explains in this blog. #WorldEnvironmentDay #ScienceIsGlobal royalsociety.org/blog/2020/0…
