Hello! Some personal news: I’ve started a new newsletter called The Nature Beat about biodiversity, conservation, ecological restoration, nature-based solutions to climate change, and so on. While it is aimed primarily at journalists, it will be useful to anyone else who is interested in these topics and wants to stay up-to-date.

Each week, The Nature Beat provides a mix of news, reporting resources, job postings, links to some great stories and a look ahead at what’s coming up in the world of biodiversity and nature policy. The latest edition is here. It provides updates on nature-related developments at the COP28 climate change conference, as well as a whole bunch of other things.

The newsletter will also publish weekly summaries of new research papers on biodiversity and nature (here is last week’s), and original content such as news, interviews and explainers, such as: Biden gives China ultimatum over pangolin trade and Will COP28 put nature at the heart of climate action?

If the newsletter sounds interesting, please consider subscribing and sharing it with anyone who might find it useful. 

Best wishes

Mike
