As was climate change until the reality of everyday impacts brought it into the wider public eye. There's a shared responsibility to make #biodiversity and #EcosystemServices at least as relatable. Science and Policy for People and Nature

Keep an eagle (Dodo?) eye on trello.com/b/5XR00oe9/ipbes6… for daily schedule details and a whole lot more!
