A/Prof & conservation scientist at Monash University. Interested in bridging the science-policy interface, protected areas, OECMs, evidence-based decision-making and developing decision-support tools for conservation practice.https://bsky.app/profile/carly-n-cook.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/carly-n-cook.bsky.social/post/3lbl7aggjes2jGreat work led by Izak Smit and colleagues exploring potential parachute science in protected areas. We ask could interest from international researcher increase research funding and collaborative research in protected area? https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2664.1481423 Nov 2024 00:08 +0000at://did:plc:aafusi3rabikvcdzya4duard/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbl7aggjes2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/carly-n-cook.bsky.social/post/3lb4q47qkmr2wThere are an amazing diversity of places where biodiversity exists outside PAs that could possibly be OECMs. I took a look at what types of areas have been suggested so far: https://doi.org/10.1111/conl.13027 There is lots of work to be done answering the question - which of these areas should be OECMs?17 Nov 2024 06:00 +0000at://did:plc:aafusi3rabikvcdzya4duard/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb4q47qkmr2whttps://bsky.app/profile/carly-n-cook.bsky.social/post/3lb4putdai22pIf you are interested in OECMs, I’ve created a big picture overview: https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1410617 Nov 2024 05:56 +0000at://did:plc:aafusi3rabikvcdzya4duard/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb4putdai22phttps://bsky.app/profile/carly-n-cook.bsky.social/post/3laq243azpk2eAre you interested in conserving biodiversity outside protected areas? We’re hiring a postdoctoral research fellow to work on Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) for 2 years. Please share with your networks.

We extend the PADDD framework to capture CADDD. Document the first CA downgrade and identify a shocking number of PAs converted to Conserved Areas with no explanation. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oneear.2024.01.02216 Mar 2024 04:32 +0000at://did:plc:aafusi3rabikvcdzya4duard/app.bsky.feed.post/3knryhr6c2t2e
