Petit rappel sur ce qu’est la Convention sur la diversité biologique : l’une des 3 Conventions de Rio #CBD. La biodiversité, c’est la diversité au sein des espèces et entre les espaces ainsi que celle des écosystème.
On a échoué à atteindre nos objectifs de la décennie passée pour la #biodiversité #objectifsdAichi. Ils étaient exhaustifs mais sont restés incantatoires, sans mécanisme de suivi, sans moyens de mise en œuvre, faute d’avoir identifié les pressions sur la biodiversité.
Hoy termino mi gestión como Secretario de Articulación Científico Tecnológica de la Nación. Asumimos hace cuatro años y trabajamos con mucha intensidad para articular el sistema científico nacional. Estos fueron los hitos y ejes destacados de nuestra gestión 👇

THREAD: Sunday is the #CITESCOP18 vote on woolly mammoth. bit.ly/2Z8hCRG
This is a unique vote. So here's a little background on why protections are needed for an extinct species. (1/5)

Yes, mammoths are extinct.
BUT #ClimateCrisis has exposed mammoth ivory in once-frozen regions and caused a spike in the largely unregulated trade. (2/5)

This has also allowed for the potential laundering of illegally obtained #elephant ivory disguised as being from a mammoth. (3/5)
THREAD: The woolly mammoth is extinct.
BUT ... the largely unregulated trade in its ivory may be impacting #elephants.
How?

The climate crisis has exposed mammoth ivory in once-frozen regions. That has caused a spike in the mammoth ivory trade.
And ... mammoth ivory can be hard to distinguish from elephant ivory. Potentially makes it easy to launder illegally obtained elephant ivory. (2/3)

"It’s ironic that an extinct species may be helping drive the depletion of an existing species, but that’s what may be happening," says WCS's @sslieberman.
That's why we support Israel's proposal to list the woolly mammoth on #CITES Appendix II. bit.ly/2Z8hCRG

Today is #WomenInScience Day, so please allow me to introduce you to some of the #WomenInSTEM who have made an impact in my career.
I hope you'll give them a follow so you can keep up with them every day of the year

It's hard keeping up with @leahmeth
We first worked together in 2012(!) to create @TheSharkStanley, the little character who helped protect sharks at #CITES2013
We later retooled him to create shark sanctuaries.
