Mangroves, seagrasses and tidal marshes are amazing ecosystems but we must do more to protect them!

Our International Policy Framework for #BlueCarbon Ecosystems helps fit the policy puzzle together to scale up coastal protection: https://t.co/BtKcEdIJgJ

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is increasingly being used to detect the presence of species and assess #biodiversity, but what is it, and how can we ensure it accurately informs #conservation and wildlife management?

Invasive alien species (IAS) are one of the biggest causes of biodiversity loss and species extinctions, and #ClimateChange compounds the problem.

We need solutions that consider the links between the two issues.
