#DYK Biomass is a metric that allows us to compare species of different sizes & can be an indicator of wild mammal presence, trends & impacts worldwide?🦌

Yet global wild mammal biomass has declined by 82%, indicating serious #biodiversity loss.🥀

.—ipbes #GlobalAssessment

Natural ecosystems are essential for maintaining #biodiversity & mitigating the effects of #ClimateChange . ⛰️

Yet, nearly half of our natural ecosystems have been lost. 🍂

—ipbes #GlobalAssessment

Let's protect and restore them #ForNature and for ourselves. 🌏

Two papers out today in Science Magazine with important messages:
(1) that urgent action needed to implement the #BiodiversityPlan
(2) action works!

Dr. Anne Larigauderie, IPBES Executive Secretary, will be awarded an Honorary Doctorate by Universitetet i Bergen, Norway🇳🇴, nominated by the university leadership.

The recognition honours her lifetime work for the protection of #biodiversity 🌎

CONGRATULATIONS Anne! 👏🏽

Harnessing science-policy collaboration: the vital role of ipbes stakeholders in achieving global nature targets.

Opinion article by IPBES Executive Secretary Anne Larigauderie➡️rb.gy/q4491s

Working day and night voluntarily on the comprehensive assessment of transformative change (IPBES). We aim to assess how to shift from this trajectory of environmental destruction and multiple associated crises towards one of global regeneration.

Forests cover 1/3 of land globally and are essential for planetary health and human well-being.

New interactive report from Food and Agriculture Organization explores trends impacting forests & how they have changed in the last 30 years. fao.org/forest-resourc…

#GoodNews - Conservation Works!

See our new paper led by Penny Langhammer Re:wild in Science Magazine

And... eradication & control of #InvasiveSpecies showed the largest impact of conservation action

If GBF Targets to be met - need increased investment

This may be one of the biggest papers I ever have the privilege to be part of.

Out now in Science Magazine, we ask: Are nature conservation interventions working?

The answer is YES. We now need to fund MORE to reverse global biodiversity declines.

Another example of the socioeconomic impacts of biological invasions.

#Biodiversity & water are closely & inextricably linked.💧🌱
Biodiversity supports water resources incl soil & plant nutrient cycling.🔁 Water resources support biodiversity; lack of water leads to #Biodiversity Loss.
