"I know who I am but I shan't tell you. I am a freak. I have hands and I have feet, and if you saw me you'd faint, you'd be petrified, mummified, turned into stone or a pillar of salt. " Some rarely produced #furryart of a yellow mongoose version of the Dalby Spook #vectorart #gef #furry #anthroart
Working Group 1 had their second meeting this morning to discuss the #GEF, the #GBFF, and financial mechanisms for the #KMGBF. There were so few points of agreement that another contact group was struck. #biodiversity #COP16
Well intentioned, but tone-deaf, or just completely unaware of conservation biology outside the USA and all modern ethnobiology?
"It's important that we work with communities to understand what their needs are—and then build a better partnership," Carlen said. "We can't just show residents the app and tell them that they need to use it, because that ignores the underlying problem that our society is still segregated and not everyone has the resources to participate."

This paper seems to overlook that ignoring affluent White urban/global Northern conservation projects can be an act of resistance. It's not just about "not having the resources"; it's about choosing what matters, about having the power to choose one's conversation partners and whether or not to share knowledge.
In #ethnobiology, scientists who happen to be from dominant communities actively work to overcome oppression by listening first, acknowledging anger, awaiting permission to collaborate (which may never come!), co-designing research, and breaking up privilege in their own institutions. We've been in this struggle for decades. Organisations like the #ICCA are led by local/Indigenous community stewards of biodiversity. #IPBES and #GEF worked all this out, even if there are still a few bumps.
Neste debate, moderado pelo Francisco Costa, fala-se de mobilidade urbana, com a participação de Carla Castelo, que traz a sua experiência política no município de Oeiras, e a @rosa, investigadora reconhecida pelo seu trabalho em mobilidade urbana, ciclável e sustentável. Cada uma foi apresentando dados sobre a situação atual e apresentando propostas sobre como melhorar a mobilidade. Também Philipp Cerny participa em formato online.

Está a ter lugar o evento Cidades do Futuro: reimaginar a mobilidade urbana. Já ouvimos investigadores internacionais a falar das políticas de mobilidade urbana na Europa. A seguir iremos assistir a um debate com personalidades portuguesas.

Now, if you were thinking these are photos of someone's fur stole on a fence, you'd be wrong.
This is, of course, Gef....
Of course it is. 
(Still loving Chris Josiffe's book!!)
A month ago today, we released this paper. So far, it's had 3000 reads & 1587 PDF downloads.
Thank you all - we very much appreciate your support & interest in our work. 
In case you missed it! 
I am reading what I would say is THE definitive Gef book by @ChrisJosiffe
Honestly, it's brilliant - and the perfect antidote to... well... 2023 tbh.
Highly recommended! 
It's officially #Gef the Mongoose Day!
Gef 'was an extra clever mongoose'...
... however, Gef's skills do not appear to have extended to drawing! 
Yes, this really is a self-portrait.
By a mongoose.
Welcome to my research world!
Well, here it is! The paper we've enjoyed researching & writing more than any other. The Crazy Paper AKA -
‘All the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order’: The riddle of the ‘Pulborough Area’ torc from Sussex.' by Tess Machling, Roll Williamson & Giovanna Fregni.

A colleague just recommended me LLEF: LLDB that feels like GDB+GEF 
Whoa there's a great #electropop song by #LemonDemon about #GefTheMongoose! #Gef #paranormal #weird #liminalearth
This is #Gef. The youngest crotched him for me for Xmas.
He is a talking mongoose from the Isle of Man and he could be evil if he wanted to
Policy Briefing make this analogy with Public Health Policy where wider determinate are critical policy focus. The same is truth of energy policy, and both need to be consider together. This means interventions in Housing Policy and Advertising regulation that deliver both energy policy and health outcomes.

This Policy Briefing published today applies recommendations of the Rethinking Energy Demand framing report to the heating and cooling of buildings. It outlines the current context, the need to reduce the number of buildings heated and the amount of heating and cooling needed within them.

It appears Neil Gaiman will be supplying the voice to Gef in Nandor Fodor and the Talking Mongoose!
