‼️New paper alert!
@KristyFerraro, @NathalieSommer and I wrote a perspective in Biological Conservation entitled “Individuals in focus: Individuals as the ecological and ethical center of human-wildlife conflict”

Very excited to announce the Early View of our paper, "Predator–prey interactions across hunting mode, spatial domain size, and habitat complexities" in @ESAEcology with @KristyFerraro, @NathalieRSommer and @freshwaterfreya :

Our paper used the agent-based modeling program @NetLogo to better understand the underlying mechanisms that drive consumptive (CE) or nonconsumptive (NCE) effects to be most dominant.

Join me as I defend my dissertation! 🐄🦁🐆🐘
'Social-Ecological Practice Theory & Human-Wildlife Interactions: People, Cattle, and Predators in Makgadikgadi, Botswana'! March 5th, 12-1pm, in person or via Zoom! DM for Zoom link. 📚🌍

🌿🐾 New research shows that bringing animals into ecosystems saves species and fights climate change by capturing and storing carbon. But, as we offer in our newest paper with @PaN_BES, it's not a one-size-fits-all solution. #rewilding #climatechange

We need to consider the context and impacts on both nature and people through an ecological, social, and ethical lens. 🤔🔍 We suggest to tread carefully and carefully consider local and regional nuances! 🌱🌍 #Conservation #ClimateAction #contextmatters

Honored to be a (small) part of this work. Thank you for publishing, @ConservationSP !
Fostering human–wildlife #coexistence necessitates a thorough and nuanced grasp of local attitudes toward #wildlife.🐾 In this article, Gao et al discuss contextualizing sociodemographic differences in Tibetan attitudes toward large #carnivores.🐺 doi.org/10.1111/csp2.13049
Very happy to be part of a newly published, and open-access paper in @ConservationSP with @yufang_gao, @SnowLeopardHope, and others:
Contextualizing sociodemographic differences in Tibetan attitudes toward large carnivores

Amazing paper about animal culture and cognition shaping animal actions! It makes me even more jazzed 🎉 that it aligns with our recent publication in @Ambio_journal (rdcu.be/doz8D) about #humanwildlifeinteractions 1/5
Animal cognition and culture shape predator-prey interactions and their effects on ecosystems.
New paper out now in @Trends_Ecol_Evo with @ejlundyyy @kaitlyngaynor @alexcarthey and @Lauren_Stanton_

Excited to be at #ICCB2023 ! What's everyone looking forward to most? I'm presenting tomorrow (Monday) at 3:45pm on the Social-ecological Landscape of Makgadikgadi: Practices of Humans, Cattle and Wildlife. Everyone should stop by!
A lot of excitement behind the recent pub in @NatureClimate (go.nature.com/40MAqlu) about rewilding for C storage. Our preprint - out now - highlights the need for consideration of ecological and social contexts! ecoevorxiv.org/repository/vi…
Had a great conversation with Thomas Easley and Lauren Sadowski YSE MEM '22 about conservation in Botswana! @YaleEnvironment #RoundRiverConservationStudies

Hey @KristyFerraro, we heard you had some "warm" weather over on Fogo Island and wanted to share how our days are looking 😂. The rest of @SchmitzLab (@NathalieRSommer @mkburak @Anniseborealis etc), what's your summer research weather looking like?!
Created a time lapse video of our camera survey between Makgadikgadi and Central Kalahari, Botswana. Were looking at human-wildlife-livestock interactions and land use as part of my PhD @YaleEnvironment. Think we found an 🐘 highway? 😂

We are also currently monitoring cattle movement, examining the conditions in which predation events occur (shout out to @dylan_feldmeier for his YSE master's work on this!), conducting qualitative interviews and engaging in participatory mapping with residents of the area in ..

I'm getting a "some of your media failed to upload" when I try and post a video. Anyone has suggestions why that is?

This badass woman wrote a badass paper!
New year, new papers! Up first is my first dissertation chapter (!!). This project seeks to understand how large herbivores impact landscape biogeochemistry patterns and was done in collaboration with @Schmitzlab and twitterless Matt McCarry.

Hopefully not a shock to most in the conservation world, reversing deforestation must start with people, not trees.

Thrilled to see the future of this partnership!
I had the honor of introducing His Excellency, @OfficialMasisi, to the podium for his speech, 'Botswana’s Vision for a Knowledge Based Economy'.

YSE will play a major role in a partnership between @Yale and Botswana, which includes collaborative work on improving sustainable land and water management in the country.
