Nature conservation policies are trying to safeguard forests all over the world. But it seems like less-flashy ecosystems, like grasslands, are getting left behind. Experts say these ecosystems are being neglected by current conservation efforts. buff.ly/SiQQo9V via @particlewa.bsky.social #Plant

In 2025, the Plant Treaty advanced global cooperation on crop diversity from 28 Benefit-sharing Fund projects in 45 countries to GB-11 in Lima, the first GB held in Latin America, with 16 resolutions adopted. Thanks to our global community. ✨ Onward to 2026! #ItAllStartsWithTheSeed #FoodSecurity
