*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 restoration🌴🌳 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
@Natures_Voice @Tomswinfield @hutan_harapan @ICRAF @BurungIndonesia @Darwin_Defra @FionaJSanderson Sorrell Jones: Counting hunters with beans – a new technique to measure sensitive behaviour in community-led conservation has been pioneered at the GolaMA project site by the Society for Conservation of Nature in Liberia and #RSPB" @Natures_voice @CABLabRHUL #RSPBScieConf19
@Natures_Voice @Tomswinfield @hutan_harapan @ICRAF @BurungIndonesia @Darwin_Defra @FionaJSanderson @CABLabRHUL PhD student @clarebissell (@CamUniGeography): Blueprint interventions for habitat & forest restoration often misunderstand complex drivers of tree cover change. Local knowledge, participatory decision-making & equitable benefits are vital for long term resilience #RSPBScieConf19
@Natures_Voice @Tomswinfield @hutan_harapan @ICRAF @BurungIndonesia @Darwin_Defra @FionaJSanderson @CABLabRHUL @clarebissell @CamUniGeography How do events on RSPB reserves help to build connection to nature in adults, & which events are most effective at doing this? @carr_victoria updates us on research using the Evaluating Nature Activities for Connection Tool (ENACT) bit.ly/2Om8ZMf #natureconnectedness
@Natures_Voice @Tomswinfield @hutan_harapan @ICRAF @BurungIndonesia @Darwin_Defra @FionaJSanderson @CABLabRHUL @clarebissell @CamUniGeography @carr_victoria Now PhD student @Robert_W_Hawkes describes the impressive results from a multi-taxa experiment across the UKs largest grass-heath, demonstrating the considerable #conservation value of habitat interventions inspired by history.
