“We cannot withdraw from the fact that over 1 million species of plants and animals face extinction.” IPBES remains committed to its mandate to provide the most credible science and evidence about biodiversity to all decision makers and actors. — @davidobura.bsky.social , @ipbes.net Chair

This has been a long-gestating baby!! Very glad to have it out in the public domain!! #nature #economy #society #sustainability #SDG

📢New publication in Nature Communications Sustainability. Led by @davidobura.bsky.social, the study calls for a fundamental rethinking of development—placing nature as the foundation of economies and society. 🌍🌱🌊 🔗Full article: doi.org/10.1038/s444...

Desde el año 1500, se han perdido al menos 680 especies de vertebrados, como la tortuga gigante de Pinta.🐢 La tasa global de extinción de especies es de 10 a 100 veces superior al promedio histórico, y se está acelerando debido a la acción humana. La conservación es vital para la naturaleza. 🌱

Researcher introduce WatchListR, a tool for developing watch-lists of invasive species to inform biosecurity decision-making. 🔗 doi.org/10.3897/neob...

🌱El estudio relevó que remover individuos juveniles de pinos es la metodología de menor costo para una mayor contención de su expansión, así como la reducción del impacto en la biodiversidad. 👉🏼Más detalles de la nota en noticias.udec.cl/eliminacion-...

Reciente investigación sobre manejo de especies invasoras propone estrategia más efectiva y económica para el manejo de pinos.

Yes, solutions for nature are also solutions for health! This new analysis finds urban greening is "associated with a wide range of positive health outcomes including improved physical and mental health, increased physical activity, improved childhood development, and reduced exposure to harms."

Biodiversity is the web of life that keeps our planet healthy. But it’s under threat from pollution, habitat loss, and climate change. Explore more on what biodiversity is all about and the ongoing work to protect it for people and the planet: unep.org/unep-and-biodiversity

What are Invasive Alien Species (#IAS) and how is this issue being addressed under the Convention on Biological Diversity? 🎥 In this interview, @unbiodiversity.bsky.social Programme Management Officer Marianela Araya explains what to expect from discussions at #SBSTTA27 in Panama.

Widespread #MountainEcosystem loss (2000-2020) is driven by human expansion ( #agriculture approx. 89% and #NaturalDisasters approx 11%) Over half (approx 56%) occurred in #ProtectedAreas or #biodiversity hotspots, demanding urgent #conservation action 🌍 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
