Can a #conservation basic income - or more specifically, #community payments with no strings attached, benefit #biodiversity ?

Fantastic discussion from #mongabay bellow.

A really nice article by @ECAlberts in #mongabay about our Steller's sea cow and kelp paper. Thankful to see that we weren't hammered by the outside commentators for attempting to model nature 😁 https://news.mongabay.com/2022/12/extinct-sea-cows-underwater-engineering-legacy-lives-on-today-study-finds/

If you're interested in #sharks #fisheries #conservation, there's some news out of the #WCPFC recent meeting (the org that manages #tuna in the western & central Pacific, & also sorta sharks...but the latter not so well). They finally agreed to stop using a certain gear that really is for shark #fishing (wire leaders) but of course there was a pretty big loophole (if you're N or S of 20 deg latitude, it doesn't apply). Anyhoo, here is an article about it from #Mongabay: https://news.mongabay.com/2022/12/shark-fishing-gear-outlawed-across-much-of-pacific-in-win-for-conservationists/

From the #mongabay podcast 'Escape into nature’s soundscapes': "Ecosystems are often noisy places [...] younger generations of people are often unaware of the decline in bird and bug population [...] and often therefore think that the current sights and sounds around them are the natural state of landscapes."
Sadly, this is something I clearly recognise when I look at my kids. :( https://news.mongabay.com/2022/11/podcast-escape-into-natures-soundscapes #soundscapes #naturelover #futuregenerations #naturecrisis #natureconservation
