Thanks. Hope you find it useful.

Delighted by the Aquatic Vegetation Synopsis just published. This summerises the evidence of effectiveness of 206 actions. Amazing work by Nigel Taylor, Vanessa Cutts & Rebecca K. Smith

This is such an excellent book full of great tips. Should be used widely.

Thank Tim. Absolutely. Was good fun to do apart from him wearing his pinny (he kindly provided lunch) for the thumbnail photo and when I asked ChatGPT to remove it was accused of inappropriate requests.

Title, authors’ names, abstract, and keywords from a paper about bridging knowledge systems, including Indigenous knowledge and local knowledge to guide natural resource decision making

Tho’ many policies call for inclusion of #Indigenous & #local #knowledge with western science to guide natural resource mgmt, practical guidance is limited. Danielsen et al. draw on #Arctic examples to offer guidance for bridging knowledge systems @billsutherland.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.tr...

Editor of Oryx—The International Journal of Conservation

Why not become the editor of Oryx? Is such an exciting opportunity. eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com?url=https%3A...

I think it a great story.

Thanks for this.

Absolutely!

Thanks - very kind. Tom is brilliant.

And this very good about applying data to understand 'why' generally. Obvious answer when it's explained, but you can only join the dots if you have all the relevant data.
Keep collecting records, you never know when they will become important

When you admire wintering migrating brent geese for what they endure, you would never think of a link that lemming populations are influencing what you are looking at.

Well worth a watch.

‘I rarely get outside’: scientists ditch fieldwork in the age of AI In the race to embrace new technologies, some ecologists fear their field is losing touch with nature.
