25.01.2022 Thanks for watching, liking, and sharing our videos! Did you know there is a new video gallery on the CEED website? It showcases our people, research, and projects. Check it out!... ceed.edu.au/resources/video-gallery.html

23.01.2022 While collecting data for her PhD, Christine decided to remove what looked to like a barnacle encrusted in the nostril of the turtle. The object turned out to be a plastic drinking straw. The upsetting video (see go.nature.com/2qfci6f) has now had more than 33 million views and thrust her into a world of high-profile advocacy she "never expected to enter".

20.01.2022 Nitrogen fertilizer is a disaster. Abandoning it would be a bigger disaster. Now a dozen billionaires are funding an alternative. Via Grist.org.

20.01.2022 Can all biodiversity be saved? And if not, how do we decide which species to save? This new exploratory decision-making tool, designed by ASU, CEED, and other institutions, helps align investment with objectives in conservation.

20.01.2022 This is the story of the oldest known spider in the world and the people who knew her.

19.01.2022 A trip to Switzerland, a legal threat, department staff under pressure. A rare blow-by-blow inside account of how power and influence are wielded in a sensitive environmental approval process.

15.01.2022 The teams have built a database of more than 2,000 photos, including several new species, and they have expanded the known distributions of other species.

13.01.2022 Popularity and public interest can often be the difference between extinction and recovery for endangered species. While there is plenty of research about the popularity of threatened species, little information exists about their popularity on social media.

12.01.2022 Aside from benefits for people, cities are often hotspots for threatened species and are justifiable locations for serious investment in nature conservation for its own sake - writes Sarah Bekessy in The Conversation.

10.01.2022 Professor Kerrie Wilson talks about environmental decision science and CEED's success on ABC Radio - at 1:31:51. https://ab.co/2CbmVmP

10.01.2022 How complex is species relocation in the face of #climatechange? Eve McDonald-Madden explains.

09.01.2022 Remember Matt Holden and Eve McDonald-Madden's research from last Halloween? They found that, if the 1.2 million Americans buried traditionally each year instead had natural burials, $3.8 billion could be channelled to conservation - maybe enough to stop extinctions of all threatened species. The video has had more than 2 million views here and has been covered many other places!

08.01.2022 Australia has some of the highest rates of private land clearing in the world. Researchers say #Queensland deforestation policy is failing to meet expectations.

06.01.2022 A prioritization process showed the benefits that new funding could achieve for NSW's 1000+ endangered species leading to an additional $100 million government investment in wildlife conservation.

05.01.2022 What messages are most effective for building community support for coastal management? Angela Dean, Kelly Fielding, and Kerrie Wilson explore.

05.01.2022 The chances of an El Niño developing late in 2018 have increased and this week the Bureau moved to #ElNiño ALERT. This means that model outlooks and observations indicate there is approximately a 70% chance that El Niño will develop in the coming months.

05.01.2022 Decision Point #106 explores effective restoration, crowdfunding in conservation, using investment theory to plan reserves, and the usual decision science and environmental policy. More at: decision-point.com.au/

05.01.2022 This was the most technically complex mission the team has attempted. It meant flying in tandem with the new satellite, following a narrow, precise track, while accounting and correcting for wind-driven changes to the ice pack to remotely probe the frozen but ever-flowing terrain below. A Nature photo essay.

03.01.2022 RMIT PhD candidate Matthew Selinske explains how social sciences helped him be a better conservation manager in West Africa, and how that led him to research conservation psychology.

03.01.2022 Our study calls for a rethink of urban planning and vegetation management regulations and policies that allow small patches of vegetation to be destroyed with lower (and often zero) scrutiny.

02.01.2022 $1.3 billion dollars a year are spent trying to stop illegal poaching. But is it more beneficial to spend the limited budgets on policing the poachers, or to use celebrities to discourage people from buying the products? CEED research in IFL Science.

01.01.2022 The Indonesian Government claims orangutan populations are now increasing in Sumatra and Borneo, but scientists working in the field say the numbers don't add up. CEED's Erik Meijaard explains on ABC RN.
