SELINA has joined a new feed!
The EU Ecosystem services feed is focused on #NatureBasedSolutions, #EcosystemServices, #BiodiversityMonitoring, and #EarthОbservation.
🔗 Follow the feed to stay updated with the latest developments from the ecosystem services community - bsky.app/profile/did:...
✨ It highlights the importance of integrating ecosystem condition indicators into ecosystem service assessments and shows that many assessments still rely on land-use data.
Also available as part of the SELINA #Zenodo community - ensuring open access to SELINA-supported scientific outputs.
🌿A new SELINA scientific publication on 'Linking ecosystem condition indicators to ecosystem services' was published in the #OneEcosystem journal. 📚

👉 Follow SELINA for updates on its activities supporting biodiversity, climate action and knowledge exchange.
It brings together museum and biodiversity data, shares knowledge between scientists and policymakers, and uses findings from #IPBES and #IPCC to support decision-making in both the public and private sectors.
🙌 During the meeting, SELINA was presented as the existing community of practice that the Bulgarian Demonstration Hub builds on.
🌍📢 SELINA was present at the Bulgarian demo hub “Community-Driven Biodiversity Knowledge Hub” at the Ministry of Environment and Water of Bulgaria, as part of the National Meeting of the @green-talent.eu project.
🌿The publication addresses the topic of 'VEgetation NUtrient-retention Service (VENUS) index: an indicator to assess favourable conditions for nutrient retention by vegetation'.
