<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">With support from the National Science Foundation, the
American Institute of Biological Sciences and the USA Nagoya Protocol Action
Group are organizing an online <font color="#000000">workshop
series </font>to explore how the international scientific community can study
biodiversity in the changing landscape of international policy. Registration is now open for the sessions scheduled for November 10, 15, and 18, 2021. Visit the series page: <a href="http://io.aibs.org/nagoya" target="_blank">io.aibs.org/nagoya</a></p>
