Are you registered with iNaturalist? Take part in the user survey, and help us increase and improve data on biodiversity around the UK! 🌲 🦔 🐌 🦀 🐸 🌳 🌼 🐞 🦅 🦊 🍄 Two my PhD students at the University of Exeter are working with the National Biodiversity Network Trust (NBN Trust) to find out more about experiences and attitudes towards iNaturalist and citizen biodiversity recording in the UK. https://lnkd.in/eJjN4rE4 *Whether you use iNaturalist often or have yet to explore it we want to hear from you!* If you use iNaturalist often, just use it to identify things you see, or if you have only signed up and not yet used it, your input is important. The results of the survey will help us work out how to enagage more people in collecting more data on #biodiversity, helping protect #nature. This survey will involve answering questions about yourself, your thoughts on your personal well-being and feelings towards nature, and your usage of the iNaturalist platform. It should take approximately 15-20 minutes of your time to complete, and you can also choose to enter a prize draw for a £100 gift voucher or donate to a wildlife charity of your choice. All users registered on iNaturalist and affiliated to iNaturalistUK as at 01 June 2024 will be sent a unique link to complete the survey. Your personal link will go to the email inbox you are registered on iNaturalist with. Thank you!! #biodiversityrecording #biodiversitydata #conservation #citizenscience #nature #research #phdresearch Emma Squire

The group has painstakingly profiled aquatic biodiversity in Trishuli, Karnali, Gandaki, and Mahakali rivers using #eDNA, developing extensive datasets to monitor the long-term health of the river systems – building the country’s first fish DNA reference database in the process.

It has been confirmed that #BiodiversityNetGain will become mandatory in England for new major developments as of 12 February 2024, and for small developments from 2 April 2024. Under BNG, the net gains for nature can be delivered: - on site (within the redline boundary of the proposed development) - off-site, by developers creating their own off-site habitats or by purchasing the required “biodiversity units” from other landowners; or as a last resort, purchasing statutory biodiversity credits as part of a national scheme provided by the Government. The roll out of #BNG will be closely watched from Ireland where it will be interesting to see how it works from a practical point of view and how much of a contribution to nature recovery BNG is going to make.

Lionfish are popular in aquariums because they look beautiful. But some owners may have released their pets in the Atlantic Ocean about 20 years ago, which is now causing huge problems around the world. This is because lionfish are spreading to many areas and cause a lot of damage to both the marine environment and us humans. In this article, I explain what is happening and what we can do to prevent further damage: https://lnkd.in/eXQaxzAf #invasivespecies #biodiversity #science #sciencecommunication

https://lnkd.in/gfciX2xU From last year, but the question is still one to ask. Just a few more have started since this article was written. Being such a huge problem, there should be more #startups to tackle #invasivespecies. Yes attacking invasive species is #climatetech. Invasive species reverse #carbonsequestration efforts by killing trees, causing algal blooms, and more.

After several delays, the government has implemented legislation that made biodiversity net gain mandatory from 12 February 2024 for larger permissions and 2 April 2024 for smaller ones. Angus Walker, BDB Pitmans, explores associated issues within #infrastructure and construction. "Poorly funded local authorities may struggle to find the necessary ecologists to assess the biodiversity of developed and offsite BNG land."

Join this important discussion lead by DHI . Many of us want to do good and contribute positively to environment and biodiversity protection, but without standardised metrics it is difficult to see, which way to go. If everyone starts heading in their own direction, we will get nowhere. So maybe let's agree? I am proud to be part of the panel and bring TotalEnergies Denmark many years of experience in environmental monitoring efforts to the table. #biodiversity #TotalEnergiesDenmark #environmentalmonitoring

🌍 Fresh Off the Press: Check out our latest policy brief. What has digital sequence information on genes to do with biodiversity conservation?" Read insights from FNI Senior Researcher Christian Prip. 🧬Digital Sequence Information (DSI) has reshaped international rules on benefit-sharing from genetic resources. 🌱UN Biodiversity Convention is in negotiations to develop a benefit-sharing mechanism for DSI. 💰 This mechanism could be a game-changer for financing global biodiversity protection. Short, but important read on the intersection of genomics and biodiversity conservation! 📖🌱 #Biodiversity #GenomicData #PolicyBrief https://lnkd.in/d676ktPh
