DNA methods have revolutionized crime forenzics since the 1990s; even "cold cases" are solved. Currently, the CBD's draft Global Biodiversity Framework doesn't include methodology for genetic diversity of most wild species & ecosystems to adapt to climate change. Isn't that odd?

It's not a yellow brick road and I have walked on it several times now, but every time I do I get the same feeling of awe and inspiration as the first time when I went to meet Ann Clarke. At the end of this road, through the @frozenark doors exciting work is in the planning!
