We’re pleased to see so many groups coming together next week for The World Summit on Traditional Knowledge Related to Biodiversity to ensure that traditional knowledge is at the forefront of measures to reverse #biodiversity loss & #climatechange. iifb-indigenous.org

The number of assessed species on the IUCN Red List is now 163,040, with over 45,000 threatened with #extinction. The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ is a critical indicator of the health of the world’s #biodiversity.

Just under 5 weeks left to BGA24 and we have 39 sessions signed up to give fantastic talks and live tutorials on processes and tools that underpin the EBP! From sessions by Darwin Tree of Life wet lab, assembly and curation teams to Local Contexts and Wise Ancestors, there's a lot!

Great #data #sovereignty READ! Thanks Sam Jones, PhD nature featuring NativeBio Data Consortium and cofounders Krystal Tsosie @kfox @science_punx “How rapidly we can sequence.. create data... commodify — I don’t think that the policy has caught up,” says Fox.

Take a minute to learn how #conservation #genomics improves #biodiversity conservation. Even though we face the sixth mass extinction, there is so much life we can protect & species whose populations we can help restore. Learn more at: linkedin.com/feed/update/ur… #WiseAncestors
