Somehow #biodiversity doesn't get the media attention that #climatechange gets. Do we need better #scicomm training? Will it take 15yrs of @IPBES to show relevance? Are #ecosystemservices & #naturescontributiontopeople a way out? #NC2P

I do not agree! #Newspecies discoveries, #extinction and campaigns like #savethevaquita get huge support, even from #celebrities like @LeoDiCaprio

Right certain #biodiversity aspects get media attention, but comparatively little to #climate. Latest example, current #IPBES6 gets hardly any media coverage in German media, even @guardian isn't covering it (yet?)! #scicomm

Actually: March coverage metrics (to 8 am Colombia time Mar 19):
Languages: 11 Countries: 73 Hits news portals: 1,077 Potential reach: 694 million Ad value equivalency (online only): $6.4 million...before first report even published

Including more than 180 separate hits in Germany alone (that we have tracked) thus far AND mentioned in the Guardian's big biodiversity story last week. BTW the Global Enviro Editor of the Guardian will be at #IPBES6 in person

FYI - here's a link to the German coverage of #IPBES6 thus far: docs.google.com/spreadsheets… in the interests of evidence-based analysis :)
