An energising week at #IPBES12. From this year, I’ll be taking on a new role as a member of the Multidisciplinary Expert Panel ( #MEP ) of @ipbes.net. Having been involved since 2019 ( #IAS #GA2, #TF-SCM, and GA2), it’s a privilege to continue contributing to the platform.

One of the most exciting aspects of @ipbes.net plenaries is the stunning artwork created for each meeting. This year is no exception, as the artwork for #IPBES12, where the #BizBiodiversity assessment is being discussed, is astonishing. Check out a snapshot of the incredible art below! 🔽

And we're off!! The working group I at #IPBES12 starts the deliberation of the #BizBiodiversity assessment. "A timely piece, bringing knowledge from many directions together " says co-chair Matt Jones, symbolically sitting under a main clock in an old station where tracks came together.

At the #IPBES12 opening plenary, it’s inspiring to see the relentless momentum of @ipbes.net’s work! This year, the launch of the #BizBiodiversity report, followed by the anticipated #Monitoring report in 2027, the innovative #SpatialPlanning report in 2028, and the impactful #GA2 report in 2029.

This morning at #IPBES12 🌍🧪

Delegates and observers meet in the main hall of Manchester Central for the opening ceremony of #IPBES12.

Once a train station connecting Manchester to the rest of the world, today it opens the session that will culminate in the #BizBiodiversity report launch.

#IPBES12 is underway with opening statements. Colombia for GRULAC begins with a tribute to a ‘founding member’ who has left—the US—and hopes they will be back soon. Got a little choked up at that - ❤️ - I too hope the US will be back soon.

Alejandro Ordonez @anordonez1.bsky.social · 6d

Inspiring opening statements at #IPBES12 as I hear them is clear the relevance of @ipbes.net and its #Experts' work and the #BizBiodiversity assessment, as well as the need for coordinated action across regions and groups to achieve the important goals of the #Paris and #GBF agreements #ForNature

Inspiring opening remarks at #IPBES12 by the #UKgov, #UNEP, and #CBD highlighted the incredible work of @ipbes.net in driving business and productive activities to ensure humanity's well-being. The time to act is now! #ForNature #NaturePositive

Just presented at #TIBS2026! On the first day of the conference, I gave a talk on #camtrapReport, an R package I developed to automate camera-trap data reporting for wildlife monitoring, turning raw detections into standardized ecological insights and outputs.
