1 in 4 plants are at risk of extinction. 🚨🌵🌲🌺🌿
Here's the why's, where's and how's in my latest animation in collaboration with @NHM_Science! (4m45) --> youtube.com/watch?v=l57Ukt6E…

@RanminiMudanna1 told us about coral restoration and the different techniques used. Although restoration can help preserve corals, ultimately we need to tackle climate change if we want corals to survive. #SciComiCon21

@Tom_Throwland explained the confusing landscape of the origin of terrestrial fungi and that we need more mycologists to look into the fossil record. #SciComiCon21

Seagrasses perform a huge number of ecosystem services that I am sure many of you never even knew about. They play a huge role in storing carbon and are therefore hugely important in our fight against climate change #SciComiCon21

But, seagrasses are threatened by a whole suite of things. We need to minimise our impact on our oceans if we are to conserve and protect seagrasses from further declines and keep a friend that supports so much life on Earth #SciComiCon21

Sadie introduced us to the benefits and limitations of green roofs and walls. They can be very helpful for areas with limited ground space for green habitats. #SciComiCon21

@DuflotMelissa and I chaired the morning session on Biodiversity at our @MResBEC science conference today. We had an exciting line-up of talks on stag beetles, bio-linguistic diversity, rediscovering extinct species and seagrass.
The final presentation of this session is by Natasha Mallet, who is discussing seagrasses, their importance and the threats they currently face #SciComiCon21

Super interesting talk highlighting the importance of research in non-English languages. We have to make science more inclusive and accessible! #SciComiCon21
Joe Grainger-Hull is discussing Bio-linguistic diversity and why it matters in biodiversity research #SciComiCon21

Jason Harkness is discussing the rediscovering of extinct species and highlighting the incredible work of @BirdLife_News and @ConservationOrg in relocating so many rediscovered species #SciComiCon21

Incredible presentation by @DuflotMelissa on exploitation of sharks in South Africa. Definitely staying away from fish n chips! #SciComiCon21 #Day1 #Squalene
Today I could educate about the over exploitation of South African sharks. Mic drop for Uk folks: be careful because what is in your fish n chips might not necessarily be a bony fish. #SciComiCon21 @MResBEC @WILDOCEANSSA @WWF_Sharks @Justice4Jaws

Loved @theobrook230 ‘s talk analyzing the effectiveness of conservation interventions for vultures in India and Nepal at #SciComiCon21 especially the holistic perspective on the importance of these misunderstood creatures!

Stag Beetles under threat from climate change with rising temperatures causing reduced dispersal abilities. The synergism between climate change and habitat fragmentation has the potential to significantly impact their UK populations in the near future #SciComiCon21

Izzy is talking about the loss of olive ridley turtle eggs at #SciComiCon21.

Language barriers are hindering our ability to gain a greater understanding of our global biodiversity. Highlighting the importance of learning non-native languages in schools to further progress the scientific literature #SciComiCon21

James Doyle is discussing the distribution of the largest UK beetle, the Stag Beetle which can grow up to 9cm in length!! They are most commonly found in the urban fringe environments of Greater London, another great reason to visit the capital. #SciComiCon21
