This #WorldWildlifeDay, we call for urgent action to halt biodiversity loss. Preventing extinctions, protecting genetic diversity, & addressing human-wildlife conflict are key to achieving Target 4 of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

Global meta-analysis shows action is needed to halt genetic diversity loss - Nature

A comprehensive meta-analysis of global terrestrial and marine genetic diversity covering more than three decades of research demonstrates rapid loss of genetic diversity and identifies conservation interventions that could mitigate this process.

🌍Global study on 600+ species reveals an alarming decline in genetic diversity🧬 But there's hope: we have the tools and conservation strategies to prevent further decline - if we act now. Read the paper by following the links below⬇️ #Biodiversity #GeneticDiversity #Conservation

Congratulations to @robynshaw.bsky.social, @cegrueber.bsky.social, and too many other friends to list here on this important paper in @nature.com on the global extent of genetic diversity loss. It was a pleasure discussing it w/ Elizabeth Pennisi from @science.org. www.science.org/content/arti...

Wide range of Earth’s species are showing a decline in diversity

The loss of genetic variation means species may be less resilient to climate change and other stressors

science.org

And a note to all authors in #consgen and #evolution: REPORT your standard errors, variance or confidence intervals in the papers for every summary stat that you provide! In the meta-analyses we had to skip thousands of papers for this reason.

@nature.com article shows global decline of genetic diversity +also that we have tools 2 protect+support genetic biodiversity 👉 the associated policy briefs: www.coalitionforconservationgenetics.org/resources-da... @coalitioncongen.bsky.social @cgsg.bsky.social @ninanatureresearch.bsky.social

I love it when a plan comes together.

Thrilled to see our paper out in @nature.com! Huge thanks to @cegrueber.bsky.social @katefarquharson.bsky.social & the core team for a mammoth effort over 6yrs! Privileged to work with 57 scientists who spent many hours screening papers & more. Missing the late Mike Bruford-who helped inspire it all
