New study: as #ClimateChange forces species to evolve & shift their ranges, consider both ecology & evolution
These 2 factors can each help #Biodiversity, but have conflicting effects as some species adapt faster & prevent other species from adapting

But media that did cover it (and still do) should also be credited - the story beat the birth of the Royal Baby on @BBCNews the day he was born! Two main hashtags generated more than 30 million impressions and #GlobalAssessment was beaten only by #GameofThrones in many countries

With >33,000 online articles alone in more than 150 countries and 50 languages the #GlobalAssessment set new benchmarks for environmental media coverage. Should #biodiversity receive more coverage than it does? Of course!

Thanks for the concern but factually this is not fully accurate - the @IPBES #GlobalAssessment Report at least matched and on many metrics (especially in online and print media) outpaced the 1.5 Degrees Report.

9% of our estimated 5.9 million terrestrial #species have insufficient habitat for long term survival🐾
Habitat restoration could save many species, if soon after the original loss or degradation of habitat #WorldHabitatDay

100 mil. ha deforested (1980-2000)

According to the UK #StateOfNature Report:
26% of UK mammal species are at risk of #extinction
41% of species have declined since 1970
"These losses matter as they represent an unravelling of the web on which we depend"
