Telling biodiversity
From research to reach: who tells the story of biodiversity
A working group dedicated to turning science into stories—making research clear, compelling, and accessible to everyone
The Editorial Coordination Committee (ECC)
The permanent group that proposes and verifies the contents of the Biodiversity Gateway.
Encourages active participation of researchers and research centers of the National Biodiversity Future Center, ensures dialogue with citizens, businesses and public agencies, and promotes interdisciplinarity.
The science outreach team
The science outreach team, coordinated by two professionals, translates the complexity of biodiversity research into accessible and engaging content.
It collaborates with researchers and institutions to inform citizens, businesses and public agencies and make science affordable for everyone.
