“We cannot withdraw from the fact that over 1 million species of plants and animals face extinction.” IPBES remains committed to its mandate to provide the most credible science and evidence about biodiversity to all decision makers and actors. — @davidobura.bsky.social , @ipbes.net Chair

"While it is clearly the prerogative of Governments to withdraw from global processes, like those of @ipbes.net, it is important to remember that this does not change the science or the relevance of that science to the lives and livelihoods of people in every community, in every part of the world. 🧪
