SNAPP's expert teams deliver rapid solutions to the most critical challenges facing humans and our planet
About us
SNAPP funds science that rapidly leads to tangible and enduring benefits to conservation and sustainable development. To achieve this, SNAPP funds teams of 12-15 people from diverse organizations to gather for 3-4 collaborative sessions over the course of 12-24 months. Building from a clearly articulated opportunity for cross-sectoral collaboration and innovation to influence policy and/or practice, these working groups conceive new ideas, synthesize data relevant to their work, and deliver rapid solutions. Between sessions, members collaborate remotely; work with long-term implementation partners; identify emerging opportunities for tangible, lasting change; develop and test tools and products; and publish research.

Successful SNAPP Meeting in Yerevan, Armenia Science for Nature and People Partnership (SNAPP) held a productive working group meeting in Yerevan, Armenia. The meeting, led by Gohar Petrossian and Damian Weekers, focused on a project to gather literature on Wildlife Crime Prevention (WCP) interventions globally and create a resource for practitioners and researchers. This project aims to provide evidence-based solutions to combat the global threat of wildlife crime and support conservation efforts worldwide.

Conservation Agriculture (CA) aims to enhance crop productivity while simultaneously minimizing impacts on the environment. These techniques are essential for growers looking to improve sustainability, while maintaining output and profits. To help growers, decisionmakers, researchers, and other stakeholders consider the benefits and tradeoffs of CA, The Nature Conservancy and the Cornell Atkinson Center for Sustainability have teamed up to create AgEvidence, an online resource offering users an interactive dataset of decades of CA implementation across the US Midwest. https://lnkd.in/gBMSPsM7 Congratulations to Stephen Wood, Lesley Atwood, PhD, and Maria Gannett on this important effort and the recently published article in Scientific Data. SNAPP is proud to have been a part of this work through our Managing Soil Organic Carbon working group. Find out more about this and other SNAPP working groups here: https://lnkd.in/gBGgEDQ8

🐠 The efforts of our Data Limited Fisheries working group continue to ripple across the fisheries management landscape 🐟 Several years after the conclusion of the SNAPP group and launch of the FishPath tool, our friends at The Nature Conservancy continue to use the group's finds and this vital tool to improve the sustainability of fisheries management the world over, this time working closely with local stakeholders in Tanzania's octopus fisheries. Congratulations to Carmen Revenga and the entire FishPath team on this important effort! Learn more about the use of the FishPath tool in Tanzania here: https://lnkd.in/ewtK_ZBb More about our Data Limited Fisheries SNAPP group here: https://lnkd.in/gDs2CAX8
A huge congratulations to my colleague Carmen Revenga and the FishPath team for their work with communities and octopus fisheries in Tanzania! It's great to see The Nature Conservancy's FishPath work highlighted, and the progress and strong stakeholder engagement with managing the octopus fishery in Tanzania. FishPath is an online, data-driven framework that brings together fishery stakeholders, providing training, data analysis and assessments, and fisheries science and management expertise for effective and sustainable fisheries management.

SNAPP is thrilled to see our Zero Deforestation Landscape working group's efforts continue to bear fruit 🍎 This recent study from working group leads Kimberly Carlson, Michael Eggen, and Robert Heilmayr offers promising solutions for achieving more effective and equitable zero deforestation outcomes. 📜 Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/eGxcsrE8 💡 Find out more about this SNAPP working group here: https://lnkd.in/e6YU4a66
🍫 Smallholder farmers are important producers of many tropical forest-risk commodities including cocoa (70% of global production), oil palm (40%), rubber (>70%), and coffee (>60%). 🚧 Yet smallholders increasingly face challenges participating in supply chains covered by “zero-“ or “no-“ deforestation commitments, due to institutional, informational, and financial barriers. 📉 This exclusion threatens to negatively affect livelihoods, consolidate market power among companies, and displace deforestation from industrial to smallholder actors. 🌴 In a new study led by Kimberly Carlson Michael Eggen Robert Heilmayr, we explore promising solutions for achieving more effective and equitable zero-deforestation outcomes, including: 🗺 expanded efforts to map and monitor land use in producing regions, 📜 improvements to smallholder land tenure security, 🔀 new traceability mechanisms for smallholder production, and 💰 incentives for smallholders to comply with zero deforestation targets.

Excited to announce this opening at The Nature Conservancy for postdoc support of our SNAPP working group on Sustainable Cattle Ranching in Colombia! Details below. Applications due by January 15th. https://lnkd.in/gjeByQGn Want to find our more about this project? Visit the working group's webpage here: https://lnkd.in/e2V4bSjJ
We are recruiting a postdoctoral carbon specialist to support our Science for Nature and People Partnership (SNAPP) on Sustainable Cattle Ranching in Colombia. If you are interested in supporting actionable and inter-disciplinary science on the carbon mitigation benefits of diversified farming practices, habitat protection and restoration, then please apply (deadline 15 January 2024): https://lnkd.in/gjeByQGn We are looking for someone to provide technical and scientific support on mitigation of climate change, Land-Use-Land-Cover (LULC) and Carbon modeling and mapping, Green-house Gases inventories for AFOLU sectors (Agriculture, Forests and Other Land Uses), monitoring and reporting Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) impacts. The Postdoctoral Carbon Specialist will collect, manage and analyze data to assess the carbon sequestration potential of protection, restoration, and improved management of habitats in Colombia and its interactions with biodiversity and socioeconomic variables. The Carbon Specialist will conduct research and scientific surveys, record data, ensure innovation in methods, develop proposals, lead scientific papers, and translate findings for policy, tools, and conservation implementation.
What are the real-world social-ecological outcomes of silvopasture transformation in Colombia? How can this evidence be utilized to inform farm planning tools and policy targets to benefit nature, climate, and human wellbeing?
