We are excited to see that the first common paper by the @erga_biodiv community has been published in @Trends_Ecol_Evo: The era of reference genomes in conservation genomics. Thanks to everybody involved! https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016953472100313X
Swedish 🇸🇪 multimillionaire Johan Eliasch purchased around 400,000 acres of Amazonian rainforest in Brazil 🇧🇷 from a logging company for $14 million,solely to conserve the forest. Hats off!
Amazing proposal for biodiversity sensors co-authored by my colleagues Sandra Mueller and Karl Frommolt.
Camera traps, acoustics, volatile organics, plus insects and pollen for eDNA analysis.

“There has been a fiftyfold increase in the production of chemicals since 1950 and this is projected to triple again by 2050."
New research shows that global chemical pollution has far surpassed safe levels, threatening the health of people and planet.
Chemical pollution has passed safe limit for humanity, say scientists
Study calls for cap on production and release as pollution threatens global ecosystems upon which life depends

Weekeend reading: Expanding national parks is not enough to halt the destruction of nature, scientists tell governments in a @UNBiodiversity update. They urge that immediate action is needed on:
- Overconsumption
- Harmful subsidies
- Climate crisis
Expanding national parks not enough to protect nature, say scientists
‘Urgent’ coordinated action to tackle overconsumption, farming subsidies and the climate crisis also needed to halt biodiversity loss

Every 10 years an ambitious plan is published; however, biodiversity declines faster than ever. Soon we will have a new plan (again): By 2050 (sic), biodiversity will be “valued, conserved, restored and wisely used ...”. We just can not proceed this way!
Biodiversity faces its make-or-break year, and research will be key
Nature - A new action plan to halt biodiversity loss needs scientific specialists to work with those who study how governments function.

#Tonga war eine der stärksten Explosionen der letzten Jahrzehnte auf der ganzen Welt. Ein „Knall“, der als Grollen bis Alaska zu hören war. Journalistisch m.E. eine Fehlleistung, das nicht in der Tagesschau zu bringen. Es fehlte die Relevanz: Was haben wir mit Tonga zu tun? 👇🏻 https://twitter.com/mjrieger/status/1482442557607063553
Über Themensetzung in Nachrichten kann man immer streiten. Deswegen fange ich mal einen "Streit" an und sage: Es ist ein riesen Versäumnis, dass in der #Tagesschau der Vulkanausbruch vor #Tonga nicht erwähnt wird. Und das wäre nicht passiert, wenn's ein Vulkan in den USA wäre.
