Lotta Schultz (University of Bergen) presenting a workflow for a global #alpine #biodiversity inventory
On my way back from an interesting #WBF2024 with the wonderful #RhätischeBahn through #Graubünden. Now heading towards Lake Constance with #SBB. Let’s see how the connections then in Germany will be with #DeutscheBahn.

Impressive review on #alpine #soil #biodiversity across the globe presented by @m_steinwandter with many colleagues of the Global Mountain Biodiversity Assessment #GMBA
Don't beat it with your feet. But it seems that Michael is more happy to study sites off the beaten tracks.
This morning at the @worldbioforum 2024 in #Davos --> small excursion day with a team of #SoilBiodiversity researchers @EisenhauerLab, #AlpSoil_Lab, #ScheuLab)
We climbed up the Büelenhorn (2512m) and Büelenberg, a quite lonely mountain ridge above Davos.
A lot of nice biodiversity to see in the #alpine zone! (and sahara sand)

David P. Shrag (Harvard University) says in his plenary sesssion that behavioural changes are unlikely to combat climate change, but we need technological changes. The largest behavioural change we experienced, the Covid-19 pandemic, caused only 5-6% of decrease in CO2 emissions.
Nice informal meeting of #GMBA members at the @worldbioforum 2024 in #Davos, #Switzerland.
There are quite some people working with #MountainBiodiversity globally 🍹🫒
Thanks to Davnah and Mark!

The dutch artist Thijs Biersteker made the point that we scientists do not reach the hearts of the public, because we do not communicate properly, whereas artists address feelings. He turns scientific findings into art and then emotions.
Translating conservation and biodiversity research from the field into the real world is a complex problem. This collection discusses issues around economics, policy, and how to do research that answers the questions that decision makers have.
