Map of Life indicators adopted by UN Global Biodiversity Framework in Montreal, including the #30x30 Target 3, Target 4 on ecosystem integrity, and Target 21 calling for improved biodiversity knowledge. Read more: https://t.co/2pAGf9bUrz @moldotorg@Yale_BGC
Wondering how we calculate the habitat loss figures in the NYT article?
Check out our new video overview of the Species Habitat Index to see how it works https://t.co/3rf4rrPHiR and read more at https://t.co/2IG1Tdl0fP!

Featuring data from our Species Habitat Index which measures habitat loss since 2001 for tens of thousands of species! @moldotorg
Biodiversity data are often skewed towards vertebrates, while invertebrates are abundant in terms of species and biomass but lack comprehensive global databases. At MOL, we’re helping put inverts on the map!

We're hiring six postdocs in macroecology, conservation science, marine biodiversity, plant biodiversity, animal movement, and quantitative ecology! Check out the full postings here for details: https://t.co/rNRoqiSi9z
We are deeply saddened to share the passing of E.O. Wilson, preeminent scientist, naturalist, author of #halfearth at 92. "His gift was a deep belief in people and our shared human resolve to save the natural world" - Paula Ehrlich

@EOWilsonFndtn With Ed we have lost one of the intellectual giants of our time. He was a wellspring of deep and influential ideas linking disparate fields of science. He showed the powerful role of bold, rigorous science for appreciating and preserving the world’s species and their many wonders
Include biodiversity representation indicators in area-based post-2020 conservation targets https://t.co/dTbuKnU68m Recent advances have enabled indicators that report on biodiversity outcomes, account for uneven biodiversity between countries and provide direct planning support.
As the #post2020 global biodiversity framework is finalized, biodiversity conservation outcomes must be at the centre of area-based conservation strategies. Hot off the press by GEO BON members. https://t.co/0y4ssBRgBr
On Friday, Razan Al Mubarak and Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim will join Half-Earth Day for the first time with Paula J. Ehrlich E. O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation and welcome attendees. #Leavenospeciesbehind Register for this free event now: https://t.co/wJBzm13flu
Yale researchers highlight gaps and opportunities in closing biodiversity information gaps and introduce an indicator informing @UNBiodiversity#COP15, showcasing role of @moldotorg, @GBIF, and @GEOBON_org: https://t.co/OuAkgV3N8i, https://t.co/jVxmSjwwtP
Glad to share our work in @CurrentBiology comparing the fossil record & molecular phylogeny for Mammalia over last 100-million yrs.
Phylogeny misses extinctions 66-56 Mya, but is remarkably reliable from 10M to present-day
