He was a molecular ecologist at Cardiff University, Wales and was co-chair of the IUCN Conservation Genetics Specialist Group. His career consisted of studying the demographic and evolutionary processes affecting populations, species and ecosystems of conservation concern. He focused on trying to understand basic evolutionary processes but also placed substantial emphasis on providing data and recommendations to management authorities for action and policy development. He is greatly missed by the conservation genetics community.

Parties to the CBD are now required to report progress on conserving genetic diversity using indicators of genetic status: 1. Proportion of populations within species with an effective population (Ne) size > 500 (Headline indicator A.4.0). This threshold is vital for preventing losses of genetic diversity within populations, allowing populations to adapt to new conditions, climate change, and diseases. 2. Proportion of populations maintained within a species (additional complementary indicator). This indicator is important as diversity among populations maintains evolutionary potential across a species' distribution. While genetic diversity measures variation at the DNA level, DNA data are not essential to assess genetic diversity indicators. The indicators use reliable proxies for genetic diversity change, meaning Parties can successfully and cost-effectively report these genetic diversity indicators with existing biodiversity observation data. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d5d07f62abc32c0a40f46/1696553891165-RFOBN6LDEHAAC7H0PDJ5/USA_Etheostoma_osburni.jpg CBD - SBSTTA26 Etheostoma osburni (image credit: R.

Genetic diversity plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems, ensuring food security, and supporting society as a whole. Without diverse genetic resources, ecosystems can’t adapt to change, which can have widespread effects on agriculture, climate resilience, and biodiversity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d5d07f62abc32c0a40f46/7109eba0-802a-4636-8e5d-b8346b3f4524/Presentation1.jpg CBD - COP16 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d5d07f62abc32c0a40f46/e6430e34-8e43-4f44-93ae-b1649fa3b5c5/Indicators.JPG CBD - COP16 There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. While we’ve developed tools and support, countries are free to adopt their own methods and do not have to follow the exact same pathway we used. Our teams are committed to fostering collaboration between scientists and practitioners. We provide opportunities for networking and capacity building to ensure the successful implementation of genetic diversity indicators. We encourage delegates to share their concerns, questions, or issues regarding the genetic diversity indicators and tools like Kobo and BON in a Box. Your feedback will help us improve these tools and make them more useful in practice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d5d07f62abc32c0a40f46/76231198-421b-4cab-80f2-968640f12719/PressRelease.png CBD - COP16 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d5d07f62abc32c0a40f46/f6659d1e-ad2a-4c4c-8fb7-dcb8e1362060/New_Fish_Fig.jpg CBD - COP16 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d5d07f62abc32c0a40f46/8e98dc69-969f-42d6-8624-1674ee6b384c/GENOAGINAMO+Bookmark.png CBD - COP16 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d5d07f62abc32c0a40f46/5627873f-d6a4-4d4d-9a05-4b72db38ef34/BSAPS.JPG CBD - COP16 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.coalitionforconservationgenetics.org/faqs-green daily 0.75 2026-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d5d07f62abc32c0a40f46/af87b870-8db4-47c0-a391-1a9c83aec185/unsplash-image-oZuBNC-6E2s.jpg FAQs - FAQs Frequently Asked Questions https://www.coalitionforconservationgenetics.org/policy-engagement daily 0.75 2025-09-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/618d5d07f62abc32c0a40f46/1758719938959-7XG6LCU2A0L4J1X5SW0G/unsplash-image-bxILcdx34H4.jpg Policy engagement - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
