The LIB urges #COP30 to put biodiversity at the core of climate policy.
Without healthy ecosystems, there are no nature-based solutions.

Vietnam is known for its extraordinary biodiversity, especially its rich bird life. An international team has studied the diversity of birds and the threats they face. Take a look at the study! @droedder.bsky.social was part of the team. #LIBresearch
The latest study in our journal assesses the threat status and implementation of the IUCN's One Plan Approach to conservation for the birds of Vietnam.
