🚨 #Policy brief for recent @nature.com paper: available in 14 languages (more to come)🚨 We highlight key recommendations for #policymakers, #conservation practitioners & researchers to safeguard #GeneticDiversity. 🔗Download the policy brief: coalitionforconservationgene…
Global study on 600 species reveals an alarming decline in genetic diversity. But there's hope: we have the tools and conservation strategies to prevent further decline - if we act now. Read the paper by following the links below⬇️ #Biodiversity #GeneticDiversity #Conservation
