This #WorldWildlifeDay, we call for urgent action to halt #biodiversity loss. Preventing extinctions, protecting genetic diversity, and addressing human-wildlife conflict are key to achieving Target 4 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. #WWD2025
🚨 #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.

Thrilled to see our paper out in @Nature! Huge thanks to @CEGrueber, @FarquharsonKate & the core team for a mammoth effort over 6 years! Privileged to work with 57 scientists who spent many hours screening papers & more. Missing the late Mike Bruford - who helped inspire it all
It’s not all doom and gloom! We show in @Nature that genetic diversity is declining globally but our @ConversationEDU article sets out 5 strategies to maintain or restore this important form of biodiversity @RobsShaw@FarquharsonKate

Out now in @Nature! Our comprehensive meta-analysis of global terrestrial and marine genetic diversity demonstrates rapid loss of genetic diversity and identifies conservation interventions that could mitigate this process

Just before the end of the year, we got another paper out! 🎉🎉🎉
It was a rather long process, capturing the thoughts and experiences from all coauthors, addressing how we can do a better job integrating molecular tools into biodiversity conservation:
