“GSBI Speaks” Toward Conservation of Soil Biodiversity: Getting Soil Organisms on the ‘Red List’

October 4, 2023 @ 7:00 am - 8:30 am

Join this zoom webinar presentation with the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative (GSBI) along with experts across the globe:

With the recognition of the importance of soils and soil organisms in providing the essential ecosystem functions to life on Earth, community investigations are beginning to characterize species by their prevalence. With so many unknown species yet to be discovered, how do researchers begin to get species listed as threatened/endangered? What about microbes? Moderated by Chris Funk (Director, Global Biodiversity Center, Colorado State University), panelists Konstantin Gongalsky (Russian Academy of Sciences),Andrey Zaytsev (Senckenberg Museum of Natural History, Germany), Zoë Lindo (Western University Ontario, Canada), and Neil Cox (International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)-Conservation International, Washington, D.C.) will each present and then discuss this topic while taking questions from the audience.
