Katherine Hernandez, IoES Ph.D. candidate and lead author of the study, says “The loss of a plant, even if it’s not globally extinct, would feel like a loss of identity for some communities.”
New @UCLA study reveals that nearly half of Colombia’s culturally significant plants lack conservation protections, leaving artisans and ancient traditions at risk.
“These plants are effectively invisible to the international conservation community.” https://t.co/mmTQ9v1r5l
Tremendo equipo de co-autores. Un honor ser parte de este equipazo. Gracias @KVictoriaHerna1 y @OrnithoAle por liderar este trabajo que estudia qué tanto sabemos sobre la vulnerabilidad de especies centrales en las artesanías hechas en Colombia.
Thank you @OrnithoAle!! I'm so proud of our whole team. It was such a privilege to work with so many incredible people, and to have such a great mentor through out it all 😊

I'll be presenting at this year's @ESA_org conference in Long Beach! Monday, Aug. 5th, at 1:30 - 3p.
I'll be presenting a paper on artisan-used plant species in Colombia, vulnerability assessments, and species loss as both a cultural and biological issue
Great talk from @xortizross today for the Turner symposium, about her body of work on adversity and animal behavior, and research to come! #ABS2024@TeamMarmot
Honored to have been invited to give a talk at #ABS2024 for the Charles H. Turner Symposium! Come check out my talk today at 10:45 to learn more about me. Spoiler alert: mitigating the costs of adversity requires external support.
