NEW: In @ScienceMagazine today, our latest peer-reviewed research shows Exxon scientists predicted global warming with shocking skill & accuracy between 1977 & 2003, contradicting the company's decades of climate denial. THREAD.

Animal #SeedDispersal is a key contributor to tropical forest restoration & diversity. New research led by Dr. Sergio Estrada studies how changes in seed dispersal may indicate recovery of species interactions: doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2021.00…
@DaisyDent @saarad @LSComita @Science4forests
Excited to see this special issue on forest restoration out! Data from our sites in Panama is featured in Sergio Estrada's study on seed dispersal and alongside 20 other @2ndFOR1 sites in @Masha_vdSande's article on recovery of soil properties. Great work everyone!!🌳🌳🌳
Our landmark theme issue in now LIVE. Twenty articles aim to provide essential science contributions to help forest landscape management during the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.

Exciting to meet @zieglerphoto1 today @MPI_animalbehav, who obtained this year‘s World Press Photo Award for Nature, congratulations!
Today PhD student Adam Fell @Adamfell3 presented at #BESMove2022 Here he is presenting his research tracking toucans and chachalacas in Panama - great to see this work coming together, Adam!
#BESMove2022 We move to tropical birds with @Adamfell3 presenting on "Navigating fragmented tropical landscapes; understanding how forest fragmentation affects frugivore behaviour"
So happy for these Seed Grant winners… congratulations all!! Looking forward to hearing about your research! And honoured to be part of @theATBC in supporting young researchers across the tropics 😊

The data is in.
The tropics lost 3.75 million hectares of primary forest in 2021, a rate equivalent to 10 football pitches a minute.
Explore the 2021 #TreeCoverLoss data from @UMD_GLAD and read expert insights on the #GlobalForestReview.
Congratulations @CanopyRobin on passing your viva!!! Super well done! Thanks to @NWillby, @francisbrearley and @EileenTisdall for an interesting and enjoyable viva

Last month we had neonicotinoids in cerebrospinal fluid of 100% of children tested. Now 99% of French people are found to be urinating glyphosate. Is this the world we want our children to grow up in?
