New number of the Institute’s Newsletter: ‘Is biodiversity the solution ?’

Modified on : 02 Sep 2021

As the IUCN World Conservation Congress opens, four experts enlighten us on biodiversity, and on the major role played by its preservation in maintaining the equilibrium of our planet.

The protection of the ocean – climate – biodiversity nexus is at the core of the challenges that will be facing us in the future. 

Biodiversity is the basis of a whole system of food production worldwide and is our sole response for the mitigation of climate change.

Marine biodiversity, even more poorly known, plays a particularly important role in these issues, and we know today that its preservation is at the heart of all potential solutions.

As the IUCN World Conservation Congress opens, four experts provide enlightenment in the new number of the Institute’s Newsletter: 

Françoise Gaill, Emeritus Director of Research CNRS, Vice-Chair of the Ocean and Climate Platform. 

Gilles Boeuf, Chair of the Scientific Council of the Agence Française pour la Biodiversité (AFB).

Colomban de Vargas, Director of Research CNRS at the Roscoff marine biology station, Coordinator of the Tara Oceans Expedition and the OCEANOMICS Project, Director of the CNRS unit Tara Oceans GO-SEE.

Nardo Vicente, Emeritus Professor of marine biology, Aix-Marseille University (IMBE), Scientific Counsellor of the Institut Océanographique Paul Ricard.

It’s yours to read and enjoy !
