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

I think one problem is the diversity of (existing) #biodiversity organisations and meetings, cf @IUCN, @CBDNews @WWF @CITES @BonnConvention , all of which got extensive coverage during their meetings and #COPs. As a newcomer, @IPBES either has to create synergies or small share

Please see replies to Klara - the share of coverage that #IPBES6 is receiving is not small by any metric

...and probably will increase once we hear about content of hitherto secret regional assessments. In any case, @WWF @WWFColombia already presented a country assessment wwf.org.co/?uNewsID=316651 Looking forward to better cooperation between #biodiversity #MEAs
