"It’s a problem for all forms of biodiversity, globally. Could #ScotlandsRainforest be an example to help show the way forward...?" @JamesHuttonInst @WorldBioForum buff.ly/4c6ESAX #WBF2024

At the Davos @WorldBioForum #WBF2024, discussing models for spatial conservation under climate change. A cautionary note: political actors may rush decisions to appear favorable. But hasty decisions can be costly and result in missed opportunities for more effective policies.

Tackling #biodiversity 🐞🦗🌿 loss is a great #societal #challenge. How do we move from #science to #action? Today the session "#ConservationScience, #policy and #diplomacy: Notes from the trenches of #transdisciplinary #research" takes place at @WorldBioForum in Davos🇨🇭
