Absolutely massive loss of the best human being @meshach_pierre
Last week our good friend Meshach Pierre died “in his place in the world” - Guyana. Meshach was in the 2018 Diploma class & will be deeply missed by his classmates & WildCRU friends. Egil’s words sum up the man, his dreams & the tragedy of a life cut short https://t.co/jXQ2YwtZlc

Woah! New research shows how vital biodiversity is to thriving humanity: In US counties where bats declined from white-nose syndrome, insect numbers surged, leading to a 31% rise in pesticide use and subsequently *an 8% increase in infant mortality*! #Biodiversity #Conservation

Should we stop using the word #stakeholder in #participatory #engagement research & practice? Our paper critically examines the limitations of "stakeholder" and its ambiguity, normativity, potential for (further) exclusion & marginalisation. Open access: https://t.co/CLqWQaCJM8
