Scott Ford published a new blog post on the Inspire4Nature fellows’ website Science4Wildlife. You can read here his article entitled Cognitive dissonance and conservation: Will our minds subconsciously guide us to the solution?
Inspire4Nature scientists Matt Ford and Jörg Freyhof are co-authors of a book entitled Threatened Freshwater Fishes of the Mediterranean Basin Biodiversity Hotspot: Distribution, extinction risk and the impact of hydropower.
Gonzalo Albaladejo published a new blog post on the Inspire4Nature fellows’ website Science4Wildlife. You can read here his article entitled Killing for conservation.
Fellow Maria Lumbierres did a presentation entitled Updated Area of Habitat models to map global biodiversity of terrestrial mammals and birds on 6th July 2020 during the online GeoBon Conference. Maria presented a combination of hers and Prabhat‘s work explaining how they developed a novel data-driven crosswalk between the IUCN Red List Habitats Classification Scheme and the Copernicus Global Land Service Land cover, using a logistic regression model. She also explained having fine-resolution distribution maps help guiding conservation action worldwide and having a clear view of the relationship between habitat and land cover helps us to understand the impacts of land-use change on species.
A remote training session in Open Access in Inspire4Nature took place remotely on the 24th June 2020.
The aim of this module was to ensure fellows understand how Open Access (of data and of publications) works in practice, and specifically what our obligations are in Inspire4Nature.
This training module was organised by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique.
The third (regular) meeting of the Inspire4Nature Supervisory Board took place on the 11th June 2020. We couldn’t meet in person in Marseille as planned, but we still had a full day of important discussions.
