Thanks Scott but you miss the point of the original post which celebrates the fact that for the first time ever the scope and scale of the #naturecrisis has been presented to and accepted by 132 Governments by the worlds leading experts w/ options to do better
It's not actually. It's them AND us or for many people around the world they ARE us. Human well-being is absolutely dependent on nature's contributions to people - food, clean water, air, jobs and security. Find out more: bit.ly/GAMediaRelease

Of course we do Scott - and the reality of the #GlobalAssessment is not, contrary to much of the reporting, tragedy but rather urgency of opportunity. The science is clear - it’s not too late to act - if we act now.

Absent higher (by orders of magnitude) levels of resources from member States to Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platforms this is not going to change. Increased online-conferences/meetings and regular open peer review opportunities are therefore your best engagement chances
