NEW PAPER OUT TODAY from the wonderful team at ICCS: Booth Hollie, Arias Melissa, Brittain Stephanie, Challender Daniel W.

A new paper out in People & Nature by ICCS group members Hunter Doughty, Diogo Veríssimo and EJ Milner‐Gulland shows how to combine human behaviour theory with evidence in order to gain deep, practical insight into conservation problems and how best to shift unsustainable behaviours

As 2021 begins, we are at a precarious time in both human and natural history. Human-made objects now outweigh all living things on planet earth, and over 8,000 species are threatened with extinction due to human actions(1).

Most business models of the 21st century have a net negative impact on nature. They fundamentally rely on using natural resources – oil for fuel, land for infrastructure, cotton for textiles – with few incentives to replace or regenerate what is lost.

What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,
O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.
