We are looking for a couple more experts to join our horizon scanning exercise online resulting in a paper in TREE. We are keen to have more participants especially outside Europe/North America. Please come and talk to me if at #ICCB2025

Note full session on future of counterfactuals starts @8:30 Wednesday! #teamcounterfactual,

Presenting "Using evidence to evaluate conservation impacts on species populations" Weds 9:54 in Great Hall 1, and in tackling conservation evaluation issues forum Mon 1pm in M3! Please reach out/come find me to chat about all things extinction risk/conservation actions!🐨🔍🐿️ @iccb2025.bsky.social

#ICCB2025 I'll be presenting our work on "Over the Horizon" extinction risk forecasting for proactive conservation planning at 10:30am on Monday, in M2.

It will be minus 3 degrees in Canberra tonight so looking forward to escaping to Brizzie for a few days...

Thanks for hosting me @tatsuya-amano.bsky.social @yeelai.bsky.social, and for everyone @uq-cbcs.bsky.social for making me feel so welcome! What an amazing place to work! Please get in touch if interested in discussing anything further, at ICCB or online! Looking forward to @iccb2025.bsky.social now!

*Positive news* Despite global declines in biodiversity, we find conservation has driven improvements in >100 species. This suggests with greater resource allocation to more species, conservation can halt and reverse biodiversity loss! First PhD paper: doi.org/10.1371/jour...

🚨NEW OPEN ACCESS PAPER🚨details how we delineated six #MarineFlyways applying a novel approach onto #seabird #tracking data: doi.org/10.1111/geb.70004 🧪

See the short animation via: www.seabirdtracking.org/case-studies... explaining how the marine flyways can be a framework to support #conservation

Do native predators help Australian mammals face invasive cats and foxes? 🦊

In this week's blog post, we discuss whether native predators inside ‘predator-free’ havens could be good for the conservation of threatened native prey species 💭🌎🧪

20 yrs ago I started comparing the 3 lists of threatened birds BirdLife had published and working out overall trends. The Red List Index resulted from the ensuing collaboration & is now used by the world's governments & UN. Our new paper reviews the history royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

🚨Calling for seabird tracking data!

🚢We are collating seabird data for the Humboldt Current region to assess fisheries bycatch risk.

🤝This is a collaborative project with Global Fishing Watch funded by @nfwfnews.bsky.social.

You can be part of it!
