📣First Editorial!
"How can we increase capacity for species conservation in the post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework?" cambridge.org/core/journals/…
We have the tools, we now need to ensure CBD Parties can utilize them to save species from EX @SciencesNCL @IUCN @philipjkmcgowan
It was sad to leave the amazing @IUCN Invasive Species team last week after a fun and fascinating 15 months. Thanks for experience and laughs 🦝🦫🐸🦞🐜🌱🌿🦌 @wildlifeinwater @AnaLuisaNunes25 @scaleric

Ooooh, this would be amazing! Who's interested in a fully funded PhD on invasive American mink? @Mammal_Society @MammSocStudents

"Are we so blinded and hardened, that we can no longer appreciate the cries of humanity?"
Such a powerful speech by @MiaAmorMottley 👏
#COP26
These roles and the organisations thinking they're acceptable need to be called out @_BTO well done @WoodEcology Conservation is full of highly skilled roles, which should have salaries to match!
Can someone @_BTO please explain the rational behind the current advertised role for a Research Ecologist requiring a PhD or equivalent as essential critera but a salary of only £23,490. On face value, this appears to be a serious undervaluing of expertise, would you not agree?

A very bland and unsatisfying 'business as usual' response from govt to the 37,000 signatures asking for a ban on urban pesticides. My response is attached. When will they realize we are in a biodiversity crisis?
More signatures would help!
