#COP15 も大詰め！ 雪化粧のモントリオールで、大臣クラスの交渉官が続々と現地入りしています。 午後の総会の冒頭で、生物多様性の損失は「人間にとっての安全保障問題だ」とはっきり述べられていたのが印象的です。

Dugong "habitat evidence" confirmed in Miyakojima , Okinawa; DNA detected in seaweed feces

ついにラストフェーズに入った #COP15 プレナリーではここまでの進捗と、残された課題が整理されました。 WGの報告に続いて、30以上の国、地域、グループが意見表明しました。 残り時間は少ないですが、交渉官たちの力戦奮闘が続きます。

波乱の幕切れ #COP15 “Post-2020 global biodiversity framework” 世界が新たな「自然と人間の関係」を築く第一歩が踏み出されました。

Biodiversity Big Data Analysis Workshop Day 1 has ended. The workshop was filled with introduction of research on distribution modeling, and exercises using R 😖. Thank you for joining!
