🌿 Trees aren’t the only way to cool cities
New research by @ecioxford.bsky.social DPhil student Camilla Hyslop finds native grasslands in Johannesburg can cool neighbourhoods just as effectively as urban forests & were nearly 2°C cooler than heavily built-up areas.

Looking forward to hosting @guyshrubsole.bsky.social today 415 pm to explore this history of land ownership in England and its role in nature loss and recovery. In person and online - all welcome !
Come & work with us. Be at the heart of Oxford’s environmental transformation. The Oxford Networks for the Environment are seeking an exceptional Impact Facilitator to evaluate, strengthen, and amplify the real-world impact of environmental research across the University. @ecioxford.bsky.social 👇
What does nature recovery mean? For Keith Kirby: A world where wildflowers are so common we don’t worry about children picking them. In this Nature Recovery podcast, we explore Wytham Woods, ash dieback, deer management, & how pple have shaped this landscape. www.buzzsprout.com/2135393/epis...
🐆 "If conservation is framed just in terms of reducing extinction, we risk ending up with under-ambitious #conservation goals."
This #WorldWildlifeDay, read our recent Q&A with Dr Molly Grace - Co-Chair, IUCN Green Status of Species Working Group - on the state and future of wildlife conservation ⬇️
It's World Wildlife Day, so the perfect moment to pencil a talk into your calendars.
9 March, at @morethanadodo.bsky.social we will host @danchallender.bsky.social from @biology.ox.ac.uk, talking about the elusive, endangered and no doubt enchanting pangolins.
🧪🦊
This is a fabulous opportunity. Please share far and wide.
Happy World Wildlife Day! 🦁
Here are just some of the species our researchers study alongside collaborators from around the world.
From animal behaviour and ecosystem dynamics to human-wildlife interactions and much more, our team works to support conservation efforts through data-driven research.
Do forests make it rain? 🌧️🌳on 13.3 Prof Dominick Spracklen will be exploring how tropical forests shape rainfall, heat, fire & public health, and why deforestation is an immediate climate risk. In person & online. @ecioxford.bsky.social bookwhen.com/oxfordbiodiv...
The Soy Moratorium is critical for protecting the Amazon, but recent political choices threaten to undermine it
Dr Aline Soterroni explains why the science supports strengthening - rather than weakening - the #SoyMoratorium

On Friday @profkatej.bsky.social discussed AI for Nature Recovery – Improving the Journey from Data to Decisions, & explored how AI, bioacoustics, sensing tech & machine learning are reshaping biodiversity monitoring & conservation policy. You can watch it here now.
The UK’s report to the CBD, just published, shows we are making progress towards the ambitious targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. But action to date is insufficient to put nature on a path to recovery by 2030. www.linkedin.com/pulse/uk-rep...
