And a question at the heart of @safenet-eu.bsky.social - how will all of this, together with human actions in surrounding managed areas affect forest-dwelling species and what could we do to support biodiversity in these forests?

A rare field day, getting to know the forests of our @safenet-eu.bsky.social case study area in Romania, near Brasov. Impactful to see the shifts in species dominance already happening. Spruce and, crucially, Silver Fir are not doing well, Beech is gaining importance even at higher elevations.

The Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework ( #KMGBF) is the world’s blueprint to halt and reverse biodiversity loss. Its 23 action targets must be achieved by 2030. Everyone has a role to play. Act now for #PeaceWithNature: 🔗 www.cbd.int/article/idb-...

What a pleasure to encounter an Irish whitebeam (Aria hibernica) last week in St John's Wood, Roscommon. This special tree is both unique to Ireland (endemic) and very rare, with probably only 240-1,000 individuals still surviving in the wild. 🌏
