We need to reorient research and policy away from credits and offsets and towards the bigger questions and solutions.
Dr Timothy Utteridge retweeted
Yet scientists and organizations are spending tons of time trying to fix this one specific tool.
Dr Timothy Utteridge retweeted
In short, credits and offsets have been around for decades, there are a few very specific situations where they seem to be helpful. In most contexts, they don't seem to be effective.
Dr Timothy Utteridge retweeted
Mostly, I want to hear less about biodiversity, nature, and carbon credits and offsets.
So we wrote a paper about it.

Thottea grandiflora Rottb., seen by the team in Singapore today. A remarkable flower, note the ‘pedicel’ is the inferior ovary, and the stigma and stamens fused into a gynostemium.

🐒 The endangered Francois' langur population in Guizhou's Mayang River National Nature Reserve has grown to 683 individuals across 79 groups, accounting for about one-third of the global population.
Through habitat protection and compensation for wildlife-related damage, conservation efforts are helping these distinctive primates thrive while promoting harmonious coexistence between people and wildlife.

#MyShiokSG Where is this? Is it somewhere in the mountains of Japan? No, it is right in the heart of Singapore! 🇸🇬
One of our diplomats happened to spot this beautiful part of the Botanic Gardens on the way back from Park Yoga. Can you guess where it is? 🌿
