And Nobel does it again, ignore the women and award the men....amazing how little we've achieved in acknowledging women since they overlooked Marie Curie and Rosalind Franklin

This is why we need a global biodiversity observing system Without data we cannot monitor, we cannot manage, and we cannot protect Standardised interoperable collation of data is essential GEO BON #cbdcop16

Some great science in the Science Policy forum #COP16 highlighting the data we need to better monitor biodiversity and set practical targets to ensure it is adequately protected- a critical underpinning to the monitoring framework GEO BON emily nicholson Andy Purvis (gone to where the skies are blue)

It was always inevitable that concord would have successors, and it would be those not working to advance the technologies that would lose out: scmp.com/news/china/sci…

At the #CBDCOP16 discussing the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) some really important biodiversity conventions with a huge amiunt of synergy

To give some context, this is the number of species VS the amount of publicly available data on species in Tropical Southeast Asia (relative to global), this is why networks like GEO BON and APBON are needed to leverage and populate better data

The ipbes monitoring assessment is off to a great start, it's been a real pleasure working with Chapter 3 this week in laying a comprehensive framework for our assessment Huge thanks to all the lead authors on the team, - alot of work ahead!

The magnitude of legal wildlife trade and implications for species survival | PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Unless we know what is in trade, and the impact on wild populations we have no way to assess or monitor the sustainability of trade Further work and reform is needed to collate more data to manage trade for the over 30,000 species currently traded pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Latest paper- ever thought of the impact and consequences of cut flower trade? academic.oup.com/.../10.1093/bi…?

Every year I try to start off with a brief editorial review of outcomes of major environmental conventions from the year before- here is an account of last year: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Making science accessible is essential to translating it into action, here is a writeup of our recent paper to try to start a wider discussion on #wildlife trade: theconversation.com/global-wildlif…

Everyone knew a Trump administration would be bad for Science and the environment, but I doubt anyone foresaw it would be so bad for Science so fast: science.org/content/blog-p…

For many species we have virtually no funding for research, handicapping our ability to target conservation actions effectively.Sadly when we explore how funds are allocated -megafauna almost always get the lions share, leaving most taxa neglected pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Latest paper; Here we discuss policy changes urgently needed to better understand and monitor what is in wildlife trade, and to fill the major (and persistent) knowledge gaps: conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

Given that high volumes of traded species still come from the wild, understanding trade routes, particularly for endangered species. Here we explore the geographic dimensions of trade, and discuss interventions to improve the quality of trade data: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

For many taxa we lack the data needed to develop appropriate interventions to effectively conserve them, or even in many instances, to assay threat. Here we make recommendations to realign funding to better understand and conserve neglected taxa academic.oup.com/bioscience/adv…?
