How do we measure biodiversity change on a global scale?
In the latest #InsideBiodiversity episode, Volker Hahn speaks with Louise McRae (@OfficialZSL) about the Living Planet Index, the science behind it, and what decades of wildlife monitoring reveal about trends in vertebrate populations worldwide.
🔬🌍🎙️ The 2026 index draws on more data than ever before, expanding both its taxonomic and geographic coverage.

🌱 Travel Grant Awardee Spotlight
Meet Carson, a first-year PhD student at UFRJ (Brazil) studying urban biotic homogenization: why forests in cities around the world are starting to look alike, no matter where you are.

"I'm not really a person who uses social media much, but during the symposium I realized how important it is to stay connected and keep exchanging ideas with people online after the event."
"Science grows through these exchanges, especially the ones that start over a casual bump at lunch or in the corridors”. The IAVS Travel Grant helps make that possible. Our next symposium is in Kumasi, Ghana (12–16 July 2027) 🇬🇭
Information coming soon.
