What precautionary steps should countries take to protect #biodiversity when land is set aside for parks and reserves? We teamed up with other #conservation organizations to provide research on why it’s important to focus on outcomes instead of actions! https://t.co/Iuwqx3lB36

[Piero Visconti @pvisconbio]

THREAD 1/25 In a paper just published we identify 4 main problems with the global protected area target that led to perverse outcomes and limited conservation progress. We propose a target for site-based  conservation beyond 2020 aimed at overcoming them https://t.co/0uBOUsSo7M

Roughly delineating @KeyBiodiversity areas in Greece as an exercise in methodology that may eventually (with more participation/expertise involved) lead to new kbas @Inspire4Nature

Congrats to Nature Conservation Division, Bhutan for a fantastic #KeyBiodiversityAreas training workshop this week. Thanks so much for inviting me to be a part of it on behalf of the @KeyBiodiversity Areas Technical Working Group and @Global_Wildlife

Inspired after a great workshop organized by @ASEANBiodiv on Identification of Sites Critical to the Global Persistence of Biodiversity

[Key Biodiversity Areas @KeyBiodiversity]

ASEAN calls for improvement in KBA identification. There is a great need to identify KBAs in this region for many taxa that have not been assessed to date.

Fantastic to be a part of #SICFAB again this year supporting efforts to identify #KeyBiodiversityAreas on the Arabian Peninsula

[Helen Senn @SennWildGenes]

Day three of @EPAA_SHJ #SICFAB: we are now into year 2 of applying the @IUCN #KBA standard to Arabian species. This year = freshwater sp. and plants. Dr Penny Langhammer @pennyultimate kicking off with an introduction to the #KBA standard.

After spending a night in #AtewaForest, Ghanaian musicians created #AtewaTillEternity to bring attn to the threat of mining in the area & convince the gov to instead designate Atewa a natl park. @mzveegh @sherifagunu_GH @obourbice @NeroXGh @KuamiEugene https://t.co/EIZgi1a4UM

[Re:wild @rewild]

Read “the father of biodiversity” E.O. Wilson’s letter to the President of the Republic of Ghana urging for action for Atewa Forest. We joined Wilson and others in their call to protect this special place from mining by designating it a national park.

@Pennyultimate @DanielMarnewick @stubutchart @markmulligan & Siyuan He, chaired by @IUCN’s Jane Smart at @OfficialZSL #spacefornature.

[Jonas Geldmann @jgeldmann]

.@stubutchart very big differences in how species groups are covered by protected areas, and some groups are very poorly covered #spacefornature @ConLetters @BirdLife_News @ZSLScience

[Sarah Nelson @sarahelenelson]

Great to see one of our @BirdLife_News partners from #SouthAfrica profiling #KBAs #spacefornature

[Jonas Geldmann @jgeldmann]

.@RachGolden global overview of #PADDD events. All together 3000+ events, primarily in the last decades #spacefornature @PADDDtracker
