🚨The new eufgis.org has just launched! Thanks to the H2020 @forgenius-eu.bsky.social project, we can now characterise the GCUs using environmental, phenotypic and genetic data! New opportunities towards the conservation of FGR! 🌍 Share eufgis.org with the world! @euforgen.bsky.social

David O'Brien opens the first session ("New Tools for Science to Reach Practice") of the Joint EVOLTREE-FORGENIUS conference with an entertaining talk on how to communicate to politicians, practitioners and the public.

🌳The upgraded #EUFGIS platform is now live! 💻 It offers enhanced tools, updated datasets and improved usability for monitoring forest genetic resources across Europe. The system provides harmonised data on more than 3,500 conservation units. More info here: www.euforgen.org/about-us/new...

The FORGENIUS-powered relaunch of EUFGIS is here 🌍 More data. Better tools. Stronger conservation. Europe’s forests are ready for the future. 🌲🧬 🔗 eufgis.org Find out more: www.forgenius.eu/news/post/ma... #EUFORGEN #FORGENIUS #ForestGenetics #Biodiversity
