Promoting electric cooking is good for people, Mountain Gorillas and 100s of other species! 🦍🍲 This project is arguably the most important one I've worked on & clearly the most exciting + fun! Academic folks, stay tuned for the RCT working paper coming later this year
This #WorldRainforestDay, learn how the Park’s e-cooker project – supported by @EU_Commission, @FundInnovDev, @AFD_France, @PEDL_CEPR and @USAID, as well as our academic partners such as @CEEMMontpellier and the University of Antwerp – is helping to protect ecosystems in Virunga.

Why is a @Harvard African language program manager consistently spewing M23/Rwandan propaganda in a terrible conflict? Bad for @AfricaHarvard's reputation!
In a total rebuttal of the false narrative fabricated by humanitarian organizations & their mouthpiece in the #UNSC, which contends that the Goma takeover by M23 has led to an IDP crisis, the Congolese who had fled into Rwanda 48h ago, are now safely returning home.

Goma, cible d’une guerre injuste menée par le Rwanda et ses complices du M23, fait face à une terrible crise humanitaire. Il est urgent de sauver des vies en rétablissant l’eau et l’électricité. La mobilisation contre cette agression Rwandaise doit d’intensifier.

Militias in eastern Congo have been recruiting child soldiers on an unprecendented scale since the outbreak of the M23 conflict.
I interviewed 14 children who recently escaped from militias for the @guardian . theguardian.com/global-devel…

[ENQUÊTE VAKITA] On a eu le permis de chasse... en ratant toutes les cibles !
Chaque année en France, les saisons de chasse se suivent et se ressemblent. Quasiment pas une semaine ne s'écoule sans que ne survienne au moins un accident de chasse.
Chez Vakita, on s'est posé une question simple : pourquoi la chasse est-elle si accidentogène en France ? Pour comprendre le problème, on a voulu le prendre à la racine. On a décidé de passer le permis de chasse et de tout filmer en caméra cachée. Et ce qu'on a découvert n'est pas rassurant... vakita.fr/fr/permis-de-chass…

C'est beau l'élevage
Tens of thousands of turkeys being suffocated and terminated by foam 👺
A #birdflu infection is a death sentence for all incarcerated animals here
Animals living this close together are the breeding grounds for pandemics
It is unnecessary so we should stop these death camps forever
#EndAnimalExploitation
#GoPlantbased

"OK donc un cycliste est mort mais c'est de sa faute."
Très saine réaction de Marine Tondelier sur la violence envers les cyclistes en France, face à des gens qui en rient.

Do you know anyone looking for a PhD in conservation social sciences? Share these awesome opportunities with the Welsh Graduate School for Social Sciences @BangorUni! Potential applicants should contact supervisors to develop a proposal (submission deadline 11th Dec).
Curious about the long-term (20 years) impact of Protected Areas on human well-being? We have a new study for you: doi.org/10.1111/conl.13048 In Tanzania, we found that material wealth increased 50% faster when Marine Protected Areas where created though...
.. this encouraging economic effect doesn't seem to be driven by a better protection of seacapes. We do see signs of structural transformation of labor markets. This project was a team work with the great @seamap @juliaa_girard @SolerToyo @ADalongeville + other not here
A special thanks to Conservation Letters editor @gscumming who helped us improve our manuscript ; and to a team led by J. Tobey and E. Torell who shared with us data and survey materials that were 20 years old. This paper is all about open science. Shout out to @idoimpact

.@laurentjaoul, de quelle tradition, de quelle culture parlez-vous ? Celle de la torture ? de la violence ? de la mort ?
Et pour vous citer, arrêtez d'«emmerder» les taureaux, trouvez-vous un autre loisir, sans animaux à persécuter. #StopCorrida
La #corrida fait partie de notre culture et de nos traditions. Après le député @CaronAymericoff, c’est @f_patriat qui veut l’attaquer au @Senat.
Ça suffit ! Arrêtez de nous emmerder !

I don't think that relocating conferences or workshops to countries with less strict immigration policy is the solution. We, scholars from the Global South aspire to travel freely. These visa refusals have far-reaching consequences, and are plainly disgraceful and unjust! 3/3

🔔Sans plus attendre, voici un aperçu de notre 1ère Table Ronde ! Avec @KriefSabrina, Lawrence Zikusoka @GCCoffee1 🦍☕ & @SebaDbx. Venez nombreux ! 📍 @IASToulouse @TSEinfo #SFDP2024
It is shocking to see that 1300 children probably died following the collapse of bats populations in North America. More shocking, tens of million of bats also died in this process (several 1000 times more bats than human beings). Tens of millions sentient beings.
Biodiversiy is declining, yet we have limited knowledge about how that affects human well-being. My work linking bats, insecticide use, and human infant health is out today in Science (science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…), and tells a complex story about how those are connected.

Are higher agricultural yields the solution to protect tropical forests? It was not the case over the last 20 years when looking at the entire tropics. You can check our new WP with @RSoubeyran @MatCoutt Please share your comments with us hal.inrae.fr/hal-04676632

My story for the @guardian on Congo's Upemba national park, with 📷 by Hugh Kinsella.
Full of endemic plants, and with Congo's last zebra herd, Upemba is slowly recovering after being decimated by conflict. But militias and poachers remain a threat. theguardian.com/environment/…
