Alliance for Conservation Tree Genomics

ACTG conducts tree genomic research to understand and conserve biological diversity using the latest advances, workshops and field-based assessments.

We have moved! Come join us on in our new place 🦋https://t.co/JlbD1J4vyz

>1500 scientists from >100 countries agreeing in something is a very rare event. In this opinion piece we joined together to express that if biological nomenclature is not understood as a neutral tool, we put ourselves at risk . Let me explain why we had to organize this 🧵👇

Last week the latest update of the @IUCNRedList was published including over 4,000 new assessments for tree species! This brings the total number of trees on the IUCN Red List to 45,395!

@yeewenlow @timutteridge ah, wonderful news! The dreaded herbarium finger-snapper is no more! ✂️🩹

Further to our earlier post (https://t.co/9RDxxJd5PK), recently described Tapanuli orangutan and its habitat are already severely threatened, as are conservationists aiming to halt dam development within the shrinking forest of North Sumatra https://t.co/z2Z2cZrXeK @mongabay

ACTG's New Year's resolution for #2024: more #funding towards #plant #dna #genomics, #taxonomy and #conservation #research of Asia's #threatened #flora. Happy New Year🌺! 🎉 @bgci @UGent_Botany @DHinsinger @GTA_GTSG @IntlOakSociety @IUCNssc @NatGeo @JChVie

Great interview with Try Surya on our newest Stone Oak (#Lithocarpus) species from #Sumatra https://t.co/9RDxxJd5PK #Fagaceae #conservation @GTA_GTSG @IUCNRedList @bgci https://t.co/nVMJv2yy62

Reaching 40,000 trees on the @IUCNRL would not have been possible without the hard work of all our Global Tree Assessment assessors, reviewers and contributors. A big thank you to everyone who has helped!

Released today The Red List of Timber Trees finds 1/3 of the world’s timber tree species are threatened with extinction. To read the full report follow the link below:

[GlobalTreeAssessment @GTA_GTSG]

There is a need for greater conservation action for timber trees, with only 46% of threatened species found in ex situ collections. Case studies in #RedListofTimberTrees show what @BGCI gardens are already doing to help.

Visiting beautiful Rimba Ilmu gardens and herbarium at @uni_malaya : collection work for the new #FloraMalesiana and #FloraPeninsularMalaysia #Fagaceae treatments. Many thanks to Dr Yong Kien-Thai and garden staff for their kind welcome and support.🌰🌳💚 https://t.co/WhRa1JxGvw

And while we are at it... ⛔️maybe this is not a good idea either? Integrated science falls apart if you break up specialists, research collections, libraries, laboratories and living collections! 🤝🌳🦊🦠🧬📔��️ Please support: https://t.co/PBJYC9pl6q #Biodiversity #Science

[Victorian Forest Alliance @alliance_forest]

VicForests caught red-handed once again. We worked w/ @WOTCHinc to expose illegal logging of Tree Geebung in areas meant to be protected, during 'regeneration' works. More proof VicForests can't be trusted & must be wound up ASAP.
