Thank you very much for the seminar. In our work as rewilders, we gratefully use scientific insights on rewilding developed at @au.dk. With the multidisciplinary approach, the team @econovoau.bsky.social makes a very big contribution to deepening knowledge on #rewilding in new biosphere conditions 🦉

🐂Skal vi have store pattedyr tilbage i den danske natur?
Jens-Christian Svenning, @econovoau.bsky.social og Tom Gilbert, @hologenomics.bsky.social var med til debat i Videnskabernes Selskab

Danmarks natur skriger på store dyr - skal det være mammutten?

Hvis vi beslutter os for det, kan vi have mammutlignende elefanter i Danmark inden for de næste ti år. Men bør vi? Tre professorer mødtes i Videnskabernes Selskab for at diskutere netop det spørgsmål.

#ECONOVO researcher @ninadm.bsky.social shares perspectives on human–wildlife relations in India in a new article.

His research sheds light on how coexistence with tigers might inspire new approaches to wolves in Europe.

Rewilding er på kort tid blevet en både populær og kontroversiel form for naturgenopretning i Danmark og Europa. Vi undersøger konceptets oprindelse – og fremtidige potentialer

A fascinating new piece featuring @jcsvenning.bsky.social and @mattkerr.bsky.social, discussing how human activity is shaping unexpected ecosystems — like the emerging "freakosystem" on O'ahu🌿. #ECONOVO #Biosphere #Biodiversity

Matt Kerr @mattkerr.bsky.social · Apr 4

We're living in a landscape of novel ecosystems, emerging in every part of the world.

The topic has been ably covered in this BBC article on "freakosystems" by Matthew Ponsford @interspecies.agency

www.bbc.com/future/artic...

This Hawaiian island's 'freakosystems' are a warning from the future

Ecosystems which have never been seen before are being accidentally created by humans. They offer a stark look into the nature of tomorrow.
