🏙️ New Research: Giving space back to nature in cities? A multi-scenario analysis of the acceptability of urban rewilding among local communities ➡️ buff.ly/krr06Un
Rewilding our cities - are people on board? New study by @BrendaZoderer and Harald Wieser
First year of TRANSForm sampling in Italy done!🌞To better understand biodiversity, we tested various techniques: pan and pitfall traps for pollinators and carabids, Audiomoth to study birds, netting for targeted pollinator capture, topsoil cores for chemical-physical analysis, and eDNA extraction.🍒🌳

Happy to share my new article looking at why people do NOT use urban wild spaces
🚨 We are looking for 3 new colleagues to join the GreenFrontier team as Postdoctoral Researchers!
Deadline for applications: 25 Nov 2025
Each of the 3 openings will involve extended ethnographic fieldwork + plenty of opportunities to consolidate research & leadership skills!
Please share widely!
Great to see our new study out: Urban blue spaces provide important sources for urban foraging in India's megacities, particularly for the most marginalized groups in society 👇
Is process-oriented conservation compatible with the protection of threatened species in Natura2000 sites?
Check out our new paper, detailing how synergies and trade-offs between these two goals differ across ecoregions👇

Our new paper shows strong support for #urbanrewilding among local communities; however, lower #acceptance of younger residents, non-users & deprived neighborhoods calls for context-specific adaptations to prevent environmental injustices in cities. @bokuvienna.bsky.social

Our systematic overview of how rewilding is practiced in Europe has been published in @consletters.bsky.social. We found five distinct strategies differing in goals, interventions, and people's role as part of the rewilding process.

🌍 New study: Foraging in India’s urban blue spaces is widespread yet overlooked.
Surveying 1,200 people in 4 cities, we found that lakes & wetlands provide food, income, culture & social ties.
👉 Recognizing foraging can support more equitable, resilient urban food systems.
