Excited for the BES Annual Meeting in Edinburgh this week, where I’ll be presenting our framework for forecasting human-wildlife conflict in near real-time!🏴
Looking forward to chatting more about human-wildlife conflict, elephants, forecasting and movement modelling.🐘

Huge new work in the central Congo peatlands, showing that the peatlands began forming 42,000 years ago. Culmination of around 15 major expeditions over the past decade, and a huge effort by many people.
Our new study, led by Greta Dargie and published yesterday in Environmental Research Letters, shows that the Congo Basin peatlands are twice as old as previously thought. www.leeds.ac.uk/main-index/n... @congopeat.bsky.social @simonlewis.bsky.social @iopp-environment.bsky.social
World’s largest tropical peatlands revealed to be more than 40,000 years old
A peatland complex in the Congo Basin which is known to be a globally important carbon store is twice as old as previously thought, according to a new scientific study.

An historic moment for Nature recovery in England with a new policy setting out plans for the return of wild Beavers. Licenses will be issued by Natural England so that we can harness the power of these keystone animals for the many benefits they bring.
