Pedro @pedrofernandez91.bsky.social & Seba @aguiarse86.bsky.social worked on mapping the Argentine beef supply chain with Patrick Meyfroidt & Erasmus zu Ermgassen and they gave a seminar on livestock systems in the #Chaco & #SouthAmerica.
A great, strengthening collaboration!

Quantifying the Spatial Footprint of Agriculture‐Driven Edge Effects in a Global Deforestation Hotspot Tropical dry forests face increasing pressure from agricultural expansion, but how this expansion impacts on remaining forests is unclear. We quantified and mapped agricultural edge effects on tree c...

On our Lab Retreat we had quite a tight schedule...
Day one was all about workshops, presentations, discussions and talks!
On the second day we hiked through the beautiful, autumnally Harz - spearing some energy for the third day: walking through coniferous forests in the fog...

The team spent three amazing days in the beautiful, autumnal #Harz during this year’s #labretreat.
Workshops, hikes, talks, discussions, cooking sessions, board games, quizzes, laughter, progress and a whole lot of photos -> be ready for some behind-the-scenes-posts and photo dumps!

It happens with other concepts too. My impression is that this stems from science’s constant need, or even obsession, to present something novel. I believe this is closely linked to “publish or perish”. Thus, to incentives that ultimately undermine the very foundations of science itself.

Where there’s political will, there’s a way to stop tropical deforestation, study finds Political will is among the most important factors in preventing tropical deforestation, according to a group of experts surveyed for a new study — with strong political commitment often arising out…

A study focused on why deforestation rates have slowed in Indonesia and the Brazilian Amazon revealed that political will was a critical factor, often as a result of pressure from civil society and diplomacy to conserve forests.
