<p>Dear NHColl community,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>usually, I do not share petitions asking others to co-sign it. Things with this one are a bit different, yesterday, there was a high ranking public meeting with, among others, the Minister of Environment in Germany, Mrs. Steffi Lemke from the Green Party,
and the directors of the Natural History museums and Leibniz Institutes in Frankfurt, Clement Tockner (Senckenberg), the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change, Bernhard Misof (i.e. the newly fused Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn, and the
Museum of Nature, Hamburg), and the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, Johannes Vogel.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The English version of the declaration is attached, it calls political leaders 30 years after the before the 1992 Rio Convention on Biodiversity for ambitious action to comabt biodiversity loss. This declaration comes shortly before the CBD-preparatory meeting
in Nairobi in June, and before the G7 summit in Germany end of June. Apparently, as a result of the CBD-preparatory in Geneva in March, key CBD countries wish to water down the indicators for the monitoring of biodiversity, with the IUCN Red List being currently
considered as only 'scientific' indicators.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>It would surely be good if this declaration would broad support not only from German scientists, but also international attention.</p>

<p>This <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://berliner-erklaerung.eu/">link</a> guides you to the website, if you wish to sign. The Website currently is available only in German, I am afraid. When scrolling down, you will find a big blue bar, asking you to
sign in German ("Sie möchten diese Erklärung auch unterzeichnen?" - see screenshot)<br>

<div class="moz-forward-container">Would surely be good if some would sign and if this petition would receive wide attention. Sadly no presents other then "attention" offered in return, except for hopefully raising the bar a bit for policy makers...<br>
