🚨 #Conservation #genomics update! 🧬 The first publicly available annotated reference #genome for the @redlisteco critically endangered #Bermuda Cedar is one step closer to being completed thanks to the incredible work of our partners @BioQuestNGO! https://t.co/JwNqF7rvdz

Do you want to see more Indigenous & Local Community-led biodiversity conservation initiatives? Take part today by donating to our new crowdfund! Every dollar makes a difference. https://t.co/prAlHxkgAB #conservation #genomics #IndigenousRights #datasovereignty #Indigenous

With your support, we can establish an ethical model for conservation—one that honors Indigenous expertise and knowledge from the very beginning. Give today: https://t.co/eRIKDOQiEo #GivingTuesday

We're thrilled to see what @cagovernor's office is calling "the largest-ever 'land return' in the Sierra foothills" to the Tule River Indian Tribe, whose ancestors lived in the southern Sierra Nevada for thousands of years. Learn more: https://t.co/osJ8eyvhMi #IndigenousRights

"It is clear that the #biodiversity #data community is ready to engage on this topic and genuinely interested to learn more. Thank you to the @GBIF #Indigenous Data Task Force & @LocalContexts for their leadership in this space." - Katie Jones #LivingData2025 #genomics

"Every session discussing #Indigenous Data Sovereignty and Governance at #LivingData2025, including the one I spoke at today, has been delivered to a packed house. Standing room only..." - Katie Jones, @Wise_Ancestors Community Engagement Director 1/2

A new assessment for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ found that nearly 100 additional wild bee species in Europe have been classified as threatened. More than 20% of species in groups such as bumblebees and cellophane bees now facing a risk of #extinction. Learn more

This is #conservation for the future—inclusive, holistic, and grounded in honoring Traditional Ecological Knowledge alongside advanced #genomics technologies. Join us and help power new approaches to slow the #extinction rate and support Indigenous & Local Community led actions.

We're thrilled to share that our Community Engagement Director Katie Jones will be presenting twice at #LivingData2025 this Thursday: 🧬 11:25am in Cauca re: our work w/ @inst_humboldt 🧬 2pm in Tolima room with keynote speaker @1NativeSoilNerd Details: https://t.co/Jc35PLjnR1

A new IUCN report warns that 43% of natural World Heritage sites now face high threats from climate change. The World Heritage Outlook 4 also warns that Invasive species and emerging wildlife diseases are also threats. Learn more https://t.co/xhJXu4GhoV #WorldHeritage

How do we power community-centered biodiversity conservation that supports #Indigenous data sovereignty? Learn more & take action at https://t.co/bXOtZ7kzCR. If you’re at #IUCNcongress @IUCN visit Booth 107 to meet members of our team! https://t.co/eKUKvgNzto

We made it to #IUCNcongress! Members of our team will be in booth 107 starting tomorrow - Monday! See how we're braiding #genomic science, traditional knowledge systems & an equitable, decentralized approach for #biodiversity conservation. Learn more: https://t.co/bXOtZ7kzCR

This is our world at @Wise_Ancestors. Everyone is invited. Learn more and take action at https://t.co/bXOtZ7kzCR. Pt. 2 drops Thursday. Visit Booth 107 at #IUCNcongress from 10/9-13th to learn more & meet members of our team. #biodiversity #conservation #Indigenous #genomics

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.

Being called an 'over-achiever' can be considered good when it is related to our contribution to the @EBPgenome Project. 🧬 Read this story - from @IEEEorg live now - all about the international quest to sequence all life on Earth. 🌍 https://t.co/2bJPR59E0M

You’re invited into the world of Wise Ancestors. https://t.co/WlfuxKFBy5 #collaborate #sequence #conserve Booth 107 #IUCNcongress 2025

We highly recommend reading this new resource, "PROTOCOLS For Non-Indigenous People Working with #Indigenous Knowledge," made possible by @Shingwauk_U & @Deakin, especially for those in #sustainability, #biodiversity #conservation, #climate justice etc. https://t.co/H9nvluAyJa
