I am excited for the opportunities and awareness that this award will bring. Thank you to AXA XL and AXA Research Fund. This award is pivotal for maximising impact of my research in nature-based solutions and issues around equity, water and climate.
Fire suppression is NOT a #naturebasedsolution in fire driven ecosystems. A paper co-authored by Glynis Humphrey shows through collaborative #palaeoecological research that local traditional fire management practices are critical!

Read our newest paper which highlights how in our quest to store more carbon on land
(tree planting/agroforestry) we risk homogenising ecosystem function Jesus Aguirre Erika Berenguer
We hope that the stories we’ve been sharing this week will help those working in research, policy and practice better consider how #socialequity can be achieved during the design, planning and implementation of #naturebasedsolutions
