Ever wondered what cognitive bias has to do with #poaching and #environmental damage? Wonder no more. I even managed to translate it from super dense social science lingo for you here: https://t.co/0kMRIcTrbX

Don't miss this @Tom_Pienkowski's talk today #ICCB2023 about conservation projects going to scale. It will be excellent! Thu, 15:15-16:45, AD 4
Looking forward to #ICCB2023 next week!π If you're going, consider checking out 'Integrative Approaches to Conservation... IV' (Thu, 15:15-16:45, AD 4) where I'll be exploring why conservation projects "go to scale"πand complex links with long-term impact & social equityπ€

Biodiversity conversation funders need to reward learning, not story telling, if they want to have impact.
Paul Ferraro reflecting on why conservation practice seems happy to routinely be ineffective. We need to accept a shift from encouraging story telling to encouraging testing and learning leading to more effective practice.

We need to ensure global conservation goals like 30x30 don't result in the profileration of paper parks hamstrung by poaching. In our latest paper we show how increasing compliance could more than double ecological benefits & discuss how behavioural sciences can help get us there
Our new lab-collab paper led by @BrockBergseth highlights social pathways to boost compliance of marine reserves so they can become their best selves! (ecologically speaking) https://t.co/tl72xDVUKZ

"The ocean is our planet's heart. How much of your heart would you want to protect? A third? A half?" The legendary Sylvia Earle continues to share wisdom and remind us that humans are not just the problem, but also the solution @IMPAC5Canada #ocean #mpa #conservation #30x30

A pleasure to listen to Cristina Mittermeier @cmittermeier share her stories, her mission, and her challenge to the Canadian government among others to step up with meaningful #mpa action. @IMPAC5Canada

Estimates suggest more than 100,000 fishers die every year due to unsafe working conditions, labour abuses, & modern day slavery. The good news is, governments & consumers could push for change. Read @BrockBergseth's (@jcu) research in our report π https://t.co/aLem52EP6M

We all know the Great Barrier Reef is in danger β the UN has just confirmed it. Again. Time to double down on compliance management efforts to protect a world heritage area? https://t.co/0KB4ftTI0h via @ConversationEDU
theconversation.com
Environment ministers from both sides are determined not to see the Barrier Reef listed as in danger. The question is β why?

Old, high compliance MPAs protect ecological functionality on #coralreefs. The ecology is there. But most of the world's #MPAs are rendered ineffective by noncompliance. Why? The social science and compliance management is NOT yet there.. #ICRS2022

I wrote up a gotcha that can get you when designing experiments. It's in the intro of the 2022 Behavioral Economics Guide. Reviewers have described it as "outstanding" and "cracking." I would be happy if you read it! Direct link (PDF pages 7-22): https://t.co/lATq5GgLLp

BREAKING: If you're feeling down by the US Supreme Court ruling on regulation of emissions, cheer up with good, amazing news from Brazil: our Supreme Court has just ruled that the Paris Agreement is a human rights treaty. This has enormous implications for future cases. Why? π§΅

We are looking for a domestic PhD student to join the Fish Lab at MQ to work on a project funded by the Rec Fishing Trust. Using remote sensing coupled with AI to examine the impacts of provisioning on aquatic animals at fish cleaning facilities.
