ConGenetics SSC

Did you attend our @CBD_COP15 side event on Saturday about #cop15GeneticDiversity? The slides are now available on our website: coalitionforconservationgenetics.org/cbd If you joined us at #COP15 &/or want to keep in touch about our indicator deployment, follow this link: coalitionforconservationgenetics.org/news/cop15-sid…

Our @gbike_cost @CoalitionConGen @GEOBON_org side event had 115 attendees & interest from parties, ngos, and @UNBiodiversity. #cop15geneticdiversity #cop15 take home: maintain all populations and ne500 within populations is vital for nature and humanity. It’s feasible!

👋Good morning #COP15! We are here to answer all of your #cop15GeneticDiversity questions. Come visit us in Area A0, booth 409. And don’t forget our side event on Saturday: coalitionforconservationgenetics.org/news/cop-15-si… @CBD_COP15 @gbike_cost @GEOBON_org @SCBConGen @congenetics

How can countries deploy #cop15GeneticDiversity indicators for the CBD? Our roadmap🗺️ provides info & examples, showing indicators are flexible & can use existing in-country resources & knowledge coalitionforconservationgenetics.org/resources-data… @CBD_COP15 @gbike_cost @GEOBON_org @SCBConGen @congenetics

A strong commitment to ambitious genetic diversity conservation is needed and is feasible. Get ready for #COP15 discussions surrounding Target 4, Goal A and monitoring indicators by reading our article, written for non-geneticists. coalitionforconservationgenetics.org/resources-data… #cop15GeneticDiversity

🧬Read the @CoalitionConGen statement on vital considerations for genetic diversity @CBD_COP15 🌎 We strongly support the Headline Indicator below, and suggest specific changes in the full statement, here: static1.squarespace.com/static/618d5d0… #cop15GeneticDiversity #COP15
