At the #IUCNCongress in Abu Dhabi, IUCN members have reaffirmed their commitment to address the needs of both people and nature through transformative conservation action.

We welcome the adoption of @IUCN's Policy on Synthetic Biology, which establishes a science-based, balanced framework for the application of synthetic biology in conservation.

We cannot afford to reject tools that could help safeguard both people and nature.

At #IUCNcongress, after intense debate, IUCN members just adopted Motion 87, which establishes a responsible, science-based policy framework on synthetic biology.

“The break-neck pace of the ongoing sixth mass extinction means we cannot afford to shut the door on solutions before we have the chance to fully explore and understand them.”

In an op-ed for @EuropeScientist, Dr Piero Genovesi, @IUCN_ISSG, explains why an @IUCN moratorium on #synbio risks closing the door to new tools that could help save endangered species and ecosystems.
