What precautionary steps should countries take to protect #biodiversity when land is set aside for parks and reserves? We teamed up with other #conservation organizations to provide research on why it’s important to focus on outcomes instead of actions! ow.ly/fIbb50qLZnJ

“We continue to be on the brink of an extinction crisis, and we must act now if we are to turn things around. This is the reason ASAP was formed.” @simonstuartSE Learn more about @IUCN_ASAP’s plan of action here: speciesonthebrink.org/news/a…. #Conservation
Inspired after a great workshop organized by @ASEANBiodiv on Identification of Sites Critical to the Global Persistence of Biodiversity
ASEAN calls for improvement in KBA identification. There is a great need to identify KBAs in this region for many taxa that have not been assessed to date.

After spending a night in #AtewaForest, Ghanaian musicians created #AtewaTillEternity to bring attn to the threat of mining in the area & convince the gov to instead designate Atewa a natl park. @mzveegh @sherifagunu_GH @obourbice @NeroXGh @KuamiEugene bit.ly/2O6fbtv

Read “the father of biodiversity” E.O. Wilson’s letter to the President of the Republic of Ghana urging for action for Atewa Forest. We joined Wilson and others in their call to protect this special place from mining by designating it a national park.

Wanna know how to value #ecosystems in #KeyBiodiversityAreas? Thanks to @pennyultimate and @rachelneugarten for fantastic leadership on this @BiodiversityASU @IUCN @ConservationOrg @SNAPPartnership collaboration!
Is it possible to measure how people benefit from #ProtectedAreas, #WorldHeritage sites and #KeyBiodiversityAreas? Yes! And @IUCN’s new guide on assessing ecosystem services just made it easier bit.ly/2M19Pyv @SNAPPartnership @ConservationOrg @TheWCS
