Excited to be at #BES2025 in Edinburgh!🌳

I'm presenting on the underappreciated risk to common species (Poster B1.68, Strathblane Hall, Wednesday 17:00-18:30).🐸

Interested in chatting more, including common species, extinction risk and conservation effectiveness? Find/message me here/Whova

*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...
