The snarky pessimist in me quips "let's get out there and develop it!" but the reasonable person says this is the only kind of language that some people will hear in order to preserve land. Preserving land = no land conversion.

Of course - but as you know the priority @IPBES audience is not the general population - our role is to present the best-available expert evidence for decision-makers to make better choices.

Presenting 3 years of research by 100 experts from 23 countries drawing on more than 3,000 sources to 130 Governments presents certain framing challenges - which is why we look to advocates like yourself to use the evidence in more accessible ways

That said, the two media launches for the @IPBES assessments in March generated more than 5,400 articles, in >2,300 news outlets, in 121 countries and 37 languages - so it's not totally inaccessible: goo.gl/6tHn9t
