Claudia Fornarini (PhD candidate) & Andrea Lauta (Research Assistant) from GMA Lab presented insightful posters at #ECR2025 👏 🦣Tracking global change in mammal extinction risk from 1996 to date 🎨 Scientific illustration: a bridge between knowledge and understanding

Today we dove into the world of ecological modelling with some truly impressive studies! From SDMs to connectivity analyses, these talks showcased how models can drive real-world conservation impact. #ECR2025

Lorenzo Ricci presenting a thought-provoking analysis on the representativeness of Natura 2000 protected areas in conserving plant species richness across Europe. A valuable contribution to evaluating the effectiveness of our conservation networks! #ECR2025 SCB Italy

A beautiful and insightful intervention by Mario Cipollone (Rewilding Apennines) and Luca Chiaverini (Spatial analyst) on strengthening the relationship between academia and hands-on conservation actors to better support biodiversity conservation. #ECR2025
