To Catarina Jakovac
The program seems to rely strongly on biological and technological\environmental aspects. I fear that social tensions are becoming an increasingly sharp risk in ecological restoration. Agriculture is noticeably pitted against conservation (e.g. January 2021 assassination on Gonzalo Cardona (ProAves))
What indicators are currently used in identifying potentially relevant land-resource conflicts in the early phases? These may assist in programmes such as project ACORN (Rabobank).

Thanks for organizing the discussion.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW FAR YOU HAVE GONE WITH THE SPREAD OF THE STRATEGIES TO COMBAT LOSS OF BIODIVERSITY ACROSS THE GLOBE.

Doreen Robinson responded
Agree- whole of society response needed. but we need to mobilize the energy, passion and innovation of youth more to develop the solutions

Weronika Wilczy commented
In my opinion it’s not the youth that needs to be convinced to fight climate change and environmental issues, but the generation before. Of course, education and worldwide spread of understandably written/teached knowledge are essential to start discussion at every level.

Helene Soubelet questioned
Money is often the cornerstone of action. So what would be the main action to be implemented in order to reach a (real) green global finance? International agreement not to finance perverse activities (for example large deforestation of primary forests, or highly polluting activities?)? Implemente a global tax on any financial transfers (to fund research and biodiversity conservation)? Prohibit some financial activities?

Doreen Robinson responded
the One Health alliance between WHO, OIE and FAO, and hopefully soon UNEP is meant to look at this cross sectoral mobilization. The global community is talking about pandemic preparedness -but it has to include perspectives from all countries. More space for less developed countries and support for them to engage is needed. Also science is a tool to review our response and learn from evidence based lessons

For Doreen:
Thank you for your valuable perspective. You mentioned “power of the purse”…do you have any ideas for how to motivate public health agencies in countries to support more capacity for ensuring zoonotic diseases aren’t spread through wildlife trade (implementing CITES)? Thank you!

There is a motion to add ‘ecocide’ to the Rome Statute’s Article 8, putting it side-by-side with war crimes and making it more difficult for individual governments to avoid accountability.

Would this help solidify accountability measures?

[Science4biodiversity_moderator]

Weronika Wilczy questioned
What do we think about our current processes linked to withstanding future pandemic outbreaks? As far as I’m aware we are rather unsatisfied with how we have dealt with it. Is it even possible to target possible zoonotic vectors and work on it on a worldwide level?

[Science4biodiversity_moderator]

Lily Rodriguez questioned
Yes, of course, it should be included — the soil and the restoration of lands, thanks.
