Application deadline on Monday! PhD position @uni-freiburg.de in the @ecosense-sfb-1537.bsky.social project

Nature conservation e.g. by NGO Fundacion Jocotoco, can help to bend the curve of biodiversity decline. The graph shows how large parts of the diversity comes back due to natural regeneraion of a rainforest. It illustrates the main finding of our study published in Nature: Protection restores 90% of species diversity in 30 years.

Good news! #Biodiversity🦜🐜🐒🐸 in a tropical #rainforest 🌴🇪🇨can naturally recover quickly 📈 (if the conditions are suitable = enough surrounding forest). Our new study in #Nature
