Happy #Indigenous Peoples Day!

We absolutely love this teaching from #NinaGualinga by @atmosmag.bsky.social about the importance of language and the words we choose to use to describe our relationships to other living beings.

#nature #Indigenousrights #wisdom

How do we power community-centered biodiversity conservation that supports #Indigenous data sovereignty? Watch this clip from our introduction video - youtu.be/65bVkOvBbaM?....

Learn more & take action at wiseancestors.org. If you’re at #IUCNcongress visit Booth 107 &- meet members of our team!

We're creating a world where #Indigenous & Local Communities are supported in protecting eons of evolutionary information – stored in the DNA of plants, animals, & fungi -- and where genomic research + locally led #conservation initiatives are supported within the same project.

Pt. 2 drops Thurs.

You’re invited into the world of Wise Ancestors. wiseancestors.org

Booth 107 #IUCNcongress 2025

Exciting News! We will have a booth at the upcoming #IUCNcongress in Abu Dhabi, October 9-12th.

Meet our team attending:
🧬 Katie Jones, Community Engagement Director
🧬 Bwalya Chibwe, Community Engagement Manager

Let us know if you'll be there too!

#climate

Exciting news for all who care about protecting #biodiversity!

Our partner @ebpgenome.bsky.social announced plans to sequence 150,000 #genomes by 2030 & all 1.67M known eukaryotic species by 2035! Read more: www.frontiersin.org/journals/sci...

#conservation

Did you know there's a global initiative happening right now that aims to sequence all animal, plant, and fungi species on Earth?

We're honored to be a part of @ebpgenome.bsky.social, and applaud our EBP-affiliate colleagues in this massive endeavor to protect Earth's genetic heritage!

Did someone say discovery of a new species? 👀

Check out this clip featuring our Executive Director, Dr. Ann Pace at #FtCSF.

#genomics

We give scientists the opportunity to work on #genomic research co-developed with #Indigenous Peoples & Local Communities. We hope bioinformaticians, biobank laboratories, geneticists, genome annotators, and DNA sequencing labs will register as Collaborators!

Platform.wiseancestors.org 🧬

Take 90 seconds to learn about our approach to conservation #genomics and how we center #Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities in every project. Our goal is to help restore balance to ecosystems and support Indigenous data sovereignty and leadership.

Part 3 of 5 from #FtCSF earlier this year.

Do you know what the Nagoya Protocol (@unep.org) is and how it can support #environmental #justice? We invite you to take a moment to learn about biological #data ( #DNA, living cells, etc. of the living world ie, #nature) & how we generate & make use of it is a really important question.

Pt. 2/5

The #genetic book of life is being erased before we can even read it. But we have a plan to fix that.
Take a minute to get caught up to speed on this extraordinary moment in history from our Strategic & Creative Director. Part 1/5.
