@nanopore @UK_CEH @FCDOResearch 'Biodiversity in a Backpack' shows UK tech being adapted with local partners in Kenya & Colombia. Watch the 8 min film now 🎬 frontiertechhub.org/uk-tech-for-gl… @Cop30noBrasil kicks off, 1 year after @COP16Oficial called for support for LMICs. This is what it can look like in practice.

Two UK technologies from @nanopore and @UK_CEH are helping to close the biodiversity data gap in Kenya and Colombia. 👀 Watch the preview below. Full film released November 5th Funded by @FCDOResearch 🚀

Two technologies from the UK 🇬🇧 are being adapted for use in Kenya 🇰🇪, making it faster, cheaper and more accessible to monitor biodiversity in the places that need it most. Science & Technology are at the heart of the UK-Kenya relationship. #GoFarGoTogether 🔬

@nanopore @UK_CEH @FCDOResearch At #COP16 leaders raised the need for #techtransfer to equip & empower communities in LMICs to protect nature most at risk ⚠️ We need to make #biodiversity solutions accessible, affordable and adaptable where they're needed most.
