Our @gbike_cost @CoalitionConGen @GEOBON_org side event had 115 attendees & interest from parties, ngos, and @UNBiodiversity. #cop15geneticdiversity #cop15 take home: maintain all populations and ne500 within populations is vital for nature and humanity. It’s feasible!

How can countries deploy #cop15GeneticDiversity indicators for the CBD?
Our roadmap🗺️ provides info & examples, showing indicators are flexible & can use existing in-country resources & knowledge https://t.co/5UYl5v9t72

A strong commitment to ambitious genetic diversity conservation is needed and is feasible.
Get ready for #COP15 discussions surrounding Target 4, Goal A and monitoring indicators by reading our article, written for non-geneticists.
