Good data is key to good decisions Errors in data, spatial, temporal& taxonomic inconsistencies,biases & gaps hinder effective decision making The redlist needs to evolve to better reflect species ranges + risks The RL should be A not THE species indicator theguardian.com/environment/20…

📣Happening now! We kick-off the 4-day workshop on co-design for the European #Biodiversity #Monitoring Coordination Centre. 🇩🇪Gathered at @idiv, EuropaBON members and stakeholders are refining final project outputs & future challenges and opportunities!🌿🌐

At @GEOBON_org I enjoyed learning about the bon in a box workflow for fast and easy indicator calculations. Amazing!

Favourite quote from GEO BON meeting: "If there’s a chicken and egg problem: assume a chicken. With GBiOS we design that chicken and go from there!" (Gary Geller talking about a Global biodiversity observing system to bring together obs for research) @GEOBON_org #GEOBONconf2023

Thanks again to the dream teams of @csbq_qcbs and the @GEOBON_org secretariat for a fantastic conference! And thanks to @inst_humboldt for the invitation to Colombia in 2025!! 🤩

@AliceCHughes @bio_diverse @csbq_qcbs @FlavioAffinito @eckert_isaac @lepurplemartin @ksmualim @AcharyaPatel @UNBiodiversity Thank you to all our sponsors and supporters for such a great conference! @NASA @esa @csbq_qcbs @GenomeCanada @Pensoft @inst_humboldt @EOWilsonFndtn @ednatecinc @iBOLConsortium @RainforestCx @EspacePourLaVie @MTL_Ville @Montreal @MTLINTL @mcgillu #GEOBONconf2023

@AliceCHughes @bio_diverse @csbq_qcbs @FlavioAffinito @eckert_isaac @lepurplemartin @ksmualim @AcharyaPatel Closing remarks by Erie Tamale from @UNBiodiversity: “The adoption of the #KMGBF was one thing, the implementation is another. We need all hands on deck” @GEOBON_org has a central role to play in getting the world to come together and protect #biodiversity #GEOBONconf2023

@AliceCHughes @bio_diverse Huge congratulations to our student awards recipients, we hope you will enjoy the prizes @csbq_qcbs got for you! Well done for youre great talks & posters, they were incredibly rich contributions to the #GEOBONconf2023!

@AliceCHughes @bio_diverse What is the future of @GEOBON_org? 🌏🌐 Our panel thinks we need to include more disciplines, especially social scientists & engage governments and their representatives more directly. Do you agree? Who else should help us achieve #GBiOS? #GEOBONconf2023

@AliceCHughes #GBiOS is a dream, but an achievable one. "We have global challenges & we need global solutions but built on the knowledge of local communities" @bio_diverse A global biodiversity observation system must leave no one behind so no species are left behind. #GEOBONconf2023

@AliceCHughes Our final panel talks about @GEOBON_org's new phase. Beyond science for the sake knowledge, the network has become a hub for answering people & society's needs. @GEOBON_org is now an international resource for the globe to meet its #biodiversity targets 🌱🌍 #GEOBONconf2023

Panelists Belma Kalamujić Stroil, @AliceCHughes, Damaris Zurell, Eren Turak, Gary Geller & Mailyn Gonzalez share what makes the #GEOBONconf2023 special: - collaboration & community 👥 - diversity 👫 - inclusivity 👐 - PASSION 💚🌱
