So cool to hear from Katie Irvine from TERN about the release of the protocols for ecological monitoring. Having an app where citizen scientists can easily enter the data they collect in a standardised way will not only support research but also decision making for the 🌏

The next International Congress for Conservation Biology #ICCB2025 has just been announced at @ICCB2023 in Rwanda - it will be late June 2025 in Meeanjin/Brisbane Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre. Pen that into your calendars conbio.org/conferences/ic…

This is huge! Gigantic monitoring plots developed to track the state of the world's forests by ForestGEO. One plot now also exists in Victoria. The team measure every single tree within the 16 ha (400 x 400m) plot! Great talk by Patrick Baker at TERN #ScientificSymposium

Shocking! Despite the huge size of Australia, there's no Australian satellites collecting #earthobservation #data for environmental reporting and research. Australia depends 100% on international providers. Andy Allen introduces CSIRO's #AusCalVal at TERN #ScienceSymposium

Following into the footsteps of the Threatened Species Index! WildOrbs has ambitions plans to develop a network of everyone who collects wildlife camera trap data and consolidate that within TERN. Goal is to provide data services to any research need. By Tom Bruce at #ScienceSymposium 👏

Insights from Prof Bronwyn Harch at TERN #ScienceSymposium . Lessons that resonated to me
- learn a new language (or 2 or 3)
- it's ok to be different
- some days you win, most days you learn

Dr Eleanor Velasquez, TERN's Education and Training Manager is asking the question: How do we get more people to share research and monitoring data?
Hint: the solution might involve a carrot 🥕and a stick 🪵! At #ScienceSymposium

How do I do effective #sciencecomms for a large research organisation? Nicolas Rakotopare tells us the importance of story telling and putting a face on the research at TERN #ScienceSymposium . There is a story in every project! And having a photo and videoasset database is essential

I loved Geoff Heard's talk about the Australian #ThreatenedSpecies #Index Threatened Species Index, it's history, how it has grown, why it's important and how to contribute! Impressive! Check out tsx.org.au - it's now an official indicator for Australia's biodiversity wellbeing

So excited about TERN #ScienceSymposium ! The symposium starts with an acknowledgment to country by Hugh Possingham - the former Qld Chiefscientist and Chair of TERNs board. Hugh makes a case that 500 years ago, everyone who lived in Australia was a birdwatcher 🐦🐦‍⬛🦃🦅🦆🦉🦜

At conversation between Senator Penny Wong and Kerry O'Brian - Griffith Conservatorium:

'When we come together for more equity, we are better together. A unified nation is a stronger nation'

As Bulgarian, German, Australian who lived on 3 continents, I tend to agree

A flock of the most BEAUTIFUL Gouldian Finches on a tree at Lee Point & the same tree a matter of days later.😡

This happened at the end of last year and in a matter of days the rest of the habitat will be destroyed.🚜
It is so depressing Tanya Plibersek has allowed this.

Susan Forrester, ASX 🏛 The heart of Australia's financial markets Chair, is telling us the secret sauce for successful boards:
