☀️Very inspiring talks and exchanges today at the EU event on border control of IAS organised by SPF Santé publique Belgian Presidency of the Council of the EU 2024 with our scientific support

👏Many thanks to all the speakers for their contributions, participants from multiple MS and IUCN and EU Environment for their support

Looking forward to some interesting discussions on how we can increase the effectiveness of customs controls to prevent the introduction of #InvasiveSpecies into the EU

It's very sad to live in a country that is closing down to scientific excellence through mobility...

This is super cool! An endemic spider that hadn't been seen for many many years rediscovered in Portugal! publico.pt/2023/12/19/azu…

We now know that 25% of #freshwater #fish species are threatened with extinction IUCN Red List

It has taken 20 years to complete this assessment of >14K spp & is the culmination of a HUGE amount effort from IUCN Species Survival Commission groups and @IUCN (incl. my 1st job!)

See how cool it is to work IUCN Cambridge office? 🤩

Some of our @EICATAuthority members met at a workshop on #invasionscience hypotheses in Berlin two weeks ago! Exciting ideas coming through, such as adding the EICAT impact category to species Wikipedia pages📝. Stay tuned! Ana Luisa Nunes Sabrina Kumschick SvenBacher IUCN

That's a wrap! Two days learning about all the amazing LIFE Programme projects on #invasives taking place all around Europe.

Thanks a lot to IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation 🌿 and LifeInvasaqua for organising. Lovely to work with Kevin Smith, Katie and Riccardo Scalera ISSG.

Really nice presentation about the amazing work being done by the #LifeIlhasBarreira project in Portugal, including removal of invasive plants. SPEA IUCN Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation 🌿
