New paper on optimising oil palm landscapes for biodiversity in Nature Sustainability

Thursday, February 9th, 2023. Posted by Owen Lewis.

Dave and Owen contributed to a paper out this week in Nature Sustainability, investigating strategies for optimising biodiversity outcomes in tropical landscapes while sustaining oil palm yields. This is a major output from our LOMBOK project in Sabah, Malaysia as part of NERC’s Human Modified Tropical Forests programme.

It’s accompanied by a nice summary and profile article by Rebecca Runting and Jessie Wells in the same issue of Nature Sustainability.
