Happy to share our new research article in People and Nature with Orou Gaoue! We explain how indigenous people select medicinal plants in West-Africa and suggest new methodological guidance in testing the theory of non- random medicinal plants selection. besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pa…

We’re so excited to announce our 2nd annual travel grant program for LGBTQIA+ wildlifers! We know it’s last minute, but due to very recent donations, we’re able to offer ONE $500 travel grant to an LGBTQIA+ TWS member (student or professional). Apps due Oct 27! More info below.

New study led by SE CASC PI Paul Armsworth shows more species can be saved if policy-makers and private donors allow even a little more flexibility in where conservation funds can be spent.

If you’re willing to live within a commute from DC, this is a great team to be a part of!

We estimate costs of buying land for conservation, as opposed to agriculture, for example. We show that those are not one and the same, and that the difference matters for conservation planning.

A must read for those interested in conservation planning: doi.org/10.1016/j.bioc…

We can prioritize species protection, but we must consider the very real constraints of the cost of land!
