The 7th #SELINAWorkshop in Galway has come to an end! We thank everyone who participated for three inspiring days of collaboration, knowledge exchange and discussions on advancing #ecosystem services in practice. See you in Riga!

As the workshop draws to a close, participants are already looking ahead. Session 10 marks the transition towards Workshop #8 in Riga, setting the stage for the next chapter of collaboration. #SELINAWorkshop

🔄 Session 7 focuses on integrated ecosystem assessment, bringing together expertise from across SELINA to explore key lines of integration for ecosystem service assessments. #SELINAWorkshop

📢 How can we better engage the private sector? Session 9 explores communication and dissemination strategies designed to increase awareness, uptake and impact of ecosystem services in the private sector. #SELINAWorkshop

Day 3️⃣ and Session 8 are showing SELINA's online guidance for ecosystem service assessment "Terms of Reference". The focus of the session was the private-sector Demonstration Projects providing valuable feedback through a rapid exercise. #SELINAWorkshop

Day 3️⃣ of the 7th #SELINAWorkshop started with Session 6 showing the Framework for Integrated Ecosystem Assesment (FIEA) as a practical decision-support tool, explaining how it can help stakeholders integrate ecosystem services into decision-making processes.

Day 2️⃣ of the 7th #SELINAWorkshop was finished with an honorable visitation! We were deligted to welcome Helen Uchechukwu Ogbu, the recently re-elected Mayor of Galway! 💚 A sincere thank you to Mayor Helen Ogbu for taking the time to join us and for supporting the vision and objectives of SELINA.

🌱 Now we are back to the hotel, where Session 5 is exploring the Seeds of Change Analysis, examining pathways and opportunities to support transformative change towards sustainable ecosystem management. #SELINAWorkshop

🌿 Day 2 took the partners into the field! We visited the Ballydangan Bog Complex conservation project to learn more about restoration efforts in practice. #SELINAWorkshop

⚖️ Day 1 of the 7th #SELINAWorkshop concluded with Session 4, focusing on ethical and justice considerations within SELINA's Demonstration Projects, alongside updates on ethics requirements across the project.

🗣️ How can ecosystem services be scaled up to drive concrete action in the private sector? Session 3 brings together science, policy and practice to discuss solutions for increasing uptake and achieving lasting impact. #SELINAWorkshop

🌱 Session 2 is now exploring how ecosystem services are applied in practice. Partners and private-sector Demonstration Projects are sharing experiences, lessons learned and decision-making approaches from real-world applications. #SELINAWorkshop

SELINA is celebrating its 4th birthday! 🎂🎉 Over the past year, SELINA continued supporting collaboration and knowledge exchange on biodiversity and #EcosystemServices across Europe. 🥂Here's to another year of impact, innovation and shared success!

🌍 Session 1: Setting the Scene has started! Together with speakers from Gresham House, GoNaturePositive and FoR-ES, participants are exploring how ecosystem services can support stronger engagement with the private sector. #SELINAWorkshop

The 7th #SELINAWorkshop has officially begun, marked by @benjaminburkhard.bsky.social who lead the Opening Ceremony, here in Galway. Now, we are ready for three days of collaboration, knowledge exchange, and presentations highlighting the project's latest developments from the past eight months.

🎉 The 7th #SELINAWorkshop has officially begun in Galway, Ireland! We received a warm welcome by Conor Kretsch from @cohabinitiative.org, who set the scene with a kind speech, and great traditional Irish music.
