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 curates and approves the content of the Biodiversity Gateway.
It fosters active involvement from researchers and NBFC research centers, encourages dialogue with citizens, businesses, and public institutions, and promotes an interdisciplinary approach to science communication.
The science outreach team
The science outreach team, led by two experienced professionals, transforms the complexity of biodiversity research into clear, engaging content.
Working closely with researchers and institutions, they help make science understandable and relevant for everyone—from citizens to businesses to public agencies.
If you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s invisible
