My story on big new @ipbes.net (the "IPCC for nature") report laying out steps business and policy makers can - and must - take to reverse #biodiversity loss/avert #risks. Timely for #Canada: @mark-carney.bsky.social says 2030 Nature Strategy coming soon. #GBF corporateknights.com/finance/a-la...

A landmark study on biodiversity loss takes aim at harmful government subsidies
The report begins with a stark warning to businesses: either lead transformative change or “risk extinction”

Business & biodiversity are intertwined. 🧪 From material dependencies to transition risks, the IPBES #BizBiodiversity Report shows how companies can transform their relationships w/ nature. Addressing impacts & dependencies is a responsibility & path to innovation, efficiency & long-term resilience.

Building the backbone for Europe’s biodiversity monitoring
Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 23 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s44358-026-00140-6Understanding biodiversity loss and achieving global commitments requires effective biodiversity monitoring. This Roadmap outlines the necessary steps to achieve a transnational European Biodiversity Observation Network built around Essential Biodiversity Variables, combining targeted sensing methods, spatial design, data sharing, data integration and modelling workflows, and coordinated governance to deliver policy-ready insights.

Today marks a special anniversary for us. On July 1, 1858, the theory of evolution by natural selection was first presented at a Linnean Society meeting. Papers written by Charles Darwin & Alfred Russel Wallace were read, shaping a groundbreaking idea still powering science today: buff.ly/uBdX7N1
“On the tendency of Species to form Varieties” paper by Wallace and Darwin originally published in the Journal of the Linnean Society of London, Zoology. Read on 1st July 1858 at the Society. Portrait of Darwin (1809-1882) commissioned by the Society in 1883 which can be found in the Society’s Meeting Room. Portrait of Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913).

Widespread slow growth of acquisitive tree species - Nature
Under field conditions, acquisitive tree species generally grow slowly, whereas conservative species show generally higher realized growth, owing to their ability to tolerate unfavourable environmental conditions.
