- Paper out by Shumon Hussain and Monika Stobiecka on conviviality thinking in archaeology and heritage landscapes. Anthropogenic #heathlands, modified for millennia by wildlife and livestock & fire regimes could be another example of a deep past ecology of #multispecies co-existence, co-shaping.
- Interesting finding on #heathland #conservation in Biological Conservation, concluding that conservation efforts and actions "cannot substitute for traditional agricultural practices that have lasted for centuries... to ensure the long-term conservation of heathlands”.
- This symposium looks interesting!
