The first Policy Brief of the COST action G-BiKE, where Tsipe and Sabrina from our workgroup are participating, was released. G-BiKE aims to develop standardized tools to assess, monitor and manage the genetic resilience of plant and animal populations, and to ultimately integrate genetic and evolutionary knowledge into EU-wide conservation planning policies. The Policy Brief intends to increase awareness about the need to monitor genetic diversity in any future EU regulations related to biodiversity preservation and management. It is designed to be easily understandable to policy makers and other stakeholders like NGOs and local authorities.
