As explained in other parts of this thread, our approach to sharing on Twitter aims, among others, to alert our wider community to key perspectives from important voices - even when those don’t align with our own Reports. This approach will continue.
Conservationists at @TheBotanics are working to ensure the survival of the rare and endangered alpine blue-sow thistle. The species is identified in the @ScotGov's #Biodiversity Route Map to 2020 as a target for #conservation action.

Indeed - we knew the piece would generate dialogue when shared - happy for instance to see the side-bar on your own feed re. economics and adulteration when you shared it in turn. One of our aims on Twitter is to feed constructive community dialogue

Hi Jeff - thanks as always for engaging. The piece is an Opinion-editorial by the Enviro Minister of an IPBES member State - it’s shared to alert our community to a viewpoint - not to endorse the stats (as u know IPBES has a lengthy Report on this from 2016)

While recent evidence confirms that adult #fish ingest plastic, a new study by @jamisongove et al. now shows that larval coral reef fish and pelagic species are also consuming plastic, as early as days after they are spawned.
