A new chapter for Together for the Med! On the 12th and 13th of September, 15 partners of the Together for the Med network will reunite in Malaga to pursue our mission to reduce pressures on Mediterranean biodiversity. As secretariat manager, BlueSeeds will be there to facilitate discussions and workshops with two main objectives: 💡 Foster the exchange of ideas to find synergies and spread best practices among partners 🖊️ Develop collaborative projects to create new conservation dynamics at regional and local levels Since 2017, the 46 partners from Together for the Med have led high impact projects supported by the MAVA Foundation. The end of the MAVA fundings now means the opening of a new chapter for the partnership. The partnership will capitalise on the obtained results and continue its collaboration with the objective to implement new and stronger Mediterranean protected areas in the context of the 30 by 30 target, and to improve the sustainability of fisheries. Take a look at what we have accomplished: 👉 https://bit.ly/3h1HYhX #MarineConservation #Conservation #Mediterranean #OceanProtection #Fisheries #30x30 #Biodiversity

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.

The latest State of the World’s Migratory Species report prepared by UNEP-WCMC for @BonnConvention highlights how human activities have led to the decline of many migratory species and shares key recommendations to alleviate this.

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."
