Dr. Brooke Williams publishes final paper of PhD thesis

Big congratulations to SLG lab member Dr. Brooke Williams who published the final paper of her PhD thesis in Biological Conservation! The paper, entitled “Global drivers of change across tropical savannah ecosystems and insights into their management and conservation” can be found in the link here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2022.109786

The abstract of the article is also below:

"In this perspective article we show that most tropical savannah ecoregions are now very degraded, with <3% globally remaining highly intact, and that they face multiple interacting threats including development, invasive species, and climate change. We show that the conservation response is not currently sufficient to address the scale of these threats and we link these threatening processes with conservation approaches that address them. We argue that these successful conservation approaches can be more broadly implemented through integrated systematic planning."

Congrats and great work Brooke!
