The next episode of #InsideBiodiversity will be released on Tuesday, Jan 6.

iDiv’s Volker Hahn speaks with Professor Miguel Bastos Araújo, @mncn_csic, about how climate change affects biodiversity and how this knowledge can inform better conservation policies. 🌡️🦅 They also discuss how researchers can play a productive role in the science-policy interface. 🌍

💬 “It’s curious that we are forcing national states to modify policy in almost all areas of polity and are so resistant to changing conservation policy to be informed by climate change. We want the energy sector to change, the construction sector to change, the transport sector to change, but we’re not doing the homework in conservation policy.”

Big trees are on the rise.
30 years of Amazon forest measurements by RAINFOR partners show that, so far, any impact of #climatechange on forests and large trees have been more than mitigated by the positive effects of increased resources.
