The illegal wildlife trade is a multibillion dollar industry, and a major cause of wildlife declines (Nellemann et al. 2014). It can contribute to the spread of invasive species and diseases, and the loss of biodiversity in ecosystems can have knock-on effects on their stability, productivity, and efficiency. Conservationists increasingly recognise the importance of demand-side interventions in the form of demand reduction, with multiple calls for demand reduction in both the academic and grey literature (e.g. (Challender et al. 2014; Burgess 2016)). Demand reduction campaigns are just beginning to be implemented in the conservation sector. However, much of these developments have neglected other sectors such as public health or international development which have used behaviour change approaches for years. In this talk I examine how conservation scientists can learn from the successes of these other fields, and suggest that at present we may be overly optimistic about the potential of demand reduction for achieving radical behaviour change. Understanding how we could maximise the success of demand reduction campaigns could help to cement the place of behaviour change approaches within conservation but it is extremely difficult to achieve, even considering the resources and longevity of practitioners in other fields. Success is often partial and costly, more difficult to achieve when there is less room to manoeuvre, and depends on product characteristics. I advocate for whole systems approaches that may help us address the unintended consequences of our interventions in complex environments.

Average demands and most demanding passages of national-level female soccer matches : do small- and large-sided games replicate match demands?
Savolainen, E. H. J.; Vänttinen, T.; Peltonen, J.; Ihalainen, J. K.; Walker, S. (Frontiers Media SA, 2023)Introduction: This study aims to (1) determine the average and most demanding passage (MDP) load of national-level female soccer matches and (2) evaluate the relationship between average and MDP load during small-sided ... -
