VicForests caught red-handed once again. We worked w/ Wildlife Of The Central Highlands to expose illegal logging of Tree Geebung in areas meant to be protected, during 'regeneration' works. More proof VicForests can't be trusted & must be wound up ASAP. #AbolishVicForests au.news.yahoo.com/endangered-spe…

Released today The Red List of Timber Trees finds 1/3 of the world’s timber tree species are threatened with extinction. To read the full report follow the link below: ow.ly/wJvj50PW3Ca

There is a need for greater conservation action for timber trees, with only 46% of threatened species found in ex situ collections. Case studies in #RedListofTimberTrees show what @BGCI gardens are already doing to help.

Excited to join Botanic Gardens Conservation International and MortonArboretum in #teaching #tree #conservation #workshops in Chiang Mai and Hanoi! Look forward to meet existing/new collaborators and join forces to protect and study Asia's amazing #biodiversity 💚🌳! #redlisting #gapanalyses actg.science

Reaching 40,000 trees on the @IUCNRL would not have been possible without the hard work of all our Global Tree Assessment assessors, reviewers and contributors. A big thank you to everyone who has helped! ow.ly/NfyC50QgHNq

>1500 scientists from >100 countries agreeing in something is a very rare event. In this opinion piece we joined together to express that if biological nomenclature is not understood as a neutral tool, we put ourselves at risk . Let me explain why we had to organize this 🧵👇

Last week the latest update of the IUCN Red List was published including over 4,000 new assessments for tree species! This brings the total number of trees on the IUCN Red List to 45,395! bgci.org/news-events/44…
