*THREAD* A couple of talks left to finish #RSPBScieConf19, focusing on technology
Senior Tech Officer, Nigel Butcher: the nest cameraš·developed so successfully 15 years ago needed updating on a budget that would ensure roll out on a large scale. He reports on benefits of new system and provides some results of its first deployments in 2019 #RSPBScieConf19
Next, back to Gola with @bio_carta. A Conservation Data Management Unit and Microsoft AI for Earth project augments the manual camera trap image labelling process with an AI algorithm which prefilters and detects images containing animals. Includes āanimal detector gameā! 
*THREAD* Second session today at #RSPBScieConf19 features @Natures_Voice work on "Saving Nature Through People" #conservationscience #socialscience
@Natures_Voice First up: @tomswinfield on tropical forest restorationš“š³ Private sector restoration concessions must be profitable if they are to be a scaleable restoration option. An enabling regulatory environment is needed. @hutan_harapan @ICRAF @BurungIndonesia #RSPBScieConf19
@Natures_Voice @Tomswinfield @hutan_harapan @ICRAF @BurungIndonesia Next, Sierra Leone: Reconciling #biodiversity and #livelihoods in high biodiversity developing world settings is a perennial problem. New @Darwin_Defra project seeks to achieve this goal in greater #Gola landscape @FionaJSanderson bit.ly/2qCUlrc bit.ly/33n1Tve
*THREAD* This #RSPBScieConf19 session thread presents advances in @Natures_Voice's goal to champion land well-managed for nature #ornithology #conservationscience
@Natures_Voice Now @Tomfinch89 shows that combining high-yield farmland with natural habitat and low-yield farmland can reconcile conflict between food production and nature conservation @RSPBScience @_BTO @CamZoology @savebutterflies and @NaturalEngland.

@Natures_Voice What's the best way to select species for habitat specific indicators? PhD student @enya_oreilly describes a quantitative method combining a speciesā relative habitat use with a niche-based selection framework to develop regional indicators for EU forests @ueaceec @biouea #PECBMS
@Natures_Voice @enya_oreilly @ueaceec @biouea Next, Nick Wilkinson on Twite. Population recovery in South Pennines will likely require improvements in productivity & first-year survival. Findings include the use of bracken for nesting, one of the two main habitat types, may represent an ecological trap #RSPBScieConf2019
