Monitoring status and trends in genetic diversity for the Convention on Biological Diversity

An ongoing assessment of genetic indicators in nine countries

Read about how we are testing indicators of genetic diversity across nine countries in our recent article, published in Conservation Letters. The indicators are cost-effective, easy to implement, and can use existing data to inform conservation policies.

For more detail check out the supplementary material for this article, which provides examples of choosing representative species per country, guidance on gathering data for indicators, and a data collection form, showing that this indicator is fully ready for operational use at this time.
