If we want to ensure a future for large carnivores in human-dominated landscapes, it’s time to modernize our tools and move beyond simple counts and towards data-driven, spatially explicit approaches. Check our latest publication: https://t.co/NF9JzEfsTz #wolves #EIA #SCR

Just turned 48 and beat my personal record of the half-marathon 🔥 Maybe I’ll run a full marathon when I turn 50 😅

#Wolves🐺? #Windfarms ? #Roads ? Environmental Impact Assessment? We’ve been doing this for 20 years in Portugal and my 1st PhD paper (w/colleagues, @chrissuthy) reviewed this effort and highlights the need for improved inferences for decision-makers. https://t.co/0D5rWh4ks4

Afinal sempre era possível desenvolver um projeto mais pequeno, e rentável, salvaguardando valores naturais. Não seria possível ter avançado corretamente desde o início, sem acusar os #lobos 🐺 de chumbar investimentos de 400M€? Eu acho que sim…

Life is more than just work. A healthy body helps a healthy mind. Can a 46 year old guy, with knee, back and shoulder injuries finish a half-marathon in 2h? Yes he can! 🤙💪 #running

Just saw this ad on TV today, and for those who like cinema and photography (and maybe the Holidays season) this just nailed it. Well done. Happy Holidays everyone. 🎄 A Holiday to Remember | Chevrolet

What happens when a group of photographers joins a group of biologists through #wolf trails? This was the challenge made to @bernardonconde, @birdcageliving and @FOlivePatroc exploring #Vinhais and you can check the result below 👇 https://t.co/JfVU2lk2TQ

Chuffed to have this out. Really hope its taken in the spirit meant: a) to put in black and white some advice we find ourselves giving an awful lot (often in response to reviewers) b) a complement to a paper we regularly recommend folks read -> @Todd_W_Arnold 2010 (1/2)

What if conservation wasn't about saving selected rare species? What if conservation was about creating complex, resilient ecosystems?

Ecological theory and experience tells us that just leaving a heavily degraded ecosystem to natural processes means we will be waiting a long time for nature recovery There is nothing wrong with interventions to set these systems on a path of recovery
