🌲 Common #biodiversity metrics may miss key signals of change. By partitioning #betadiversity into species loss and turnover, this study from #Sweden shows how #habitatdegradation drives biotic homogenisation across spatial scales.

Countries are attempting to negotiate a treaty to end plastic pollution, but the current draft focuses on waste management and recycling rather than curbing plastic production. Almost 100 countries say it's simply not acceptable.

" ... global actions—such as immediate abatement of all threats across at least ½ of species ranges for ~10,000 bird species—will only prevent ½ of projected species extinctions & functional diversity loss attributable to current & future threats in the next 100 years"
