Our planetary biosphere is undergoing unprecedented change. At the same time, we are seeing a revolution in our ability to observe and monitor this change.

We're launching a new University of Leeds network for researchers interested in next generation environmental & biodiversity sensing, spanning not just the tech and its applications, but also the ethical and social implications. Sign up info below Faculty of Biological Sciences Leeds Eco&Evol Res

Serena is running a REALLY fascinating project on 'dark diversity' and we'd really appreciate it if ecologists and biodiversity researchers could spend 15 minutes on this survey. There'll be a workshop at the end that you can take part in, if you like, to hear about results.

🌱Ecologists and biodiversity specialists – your expertise is needed!

Contribute to research on
unrecorded forest biodiversity by answering this survey: app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/leeds/forest…
 
This is part of my PhD research at the University of Leeds. I’d be grateful for your input🌳
