GMBA spotlight and research webinars

GMBA organises two types of webinars:

  • Spotlight on mountain biodiversity webinars: within 30 minutes, speakers will take their audience onto a journey to discover the fantastic diversity of species that inhabit mountain ecosystems around the world. With many pictures and stories about these species'; distribution and adaptations, the threats they face, the options we have to conserve them, and how our speakers became their ambassadors, these webinars are not about hardcore science but about discoveries, fascination, and reasons for why to care for our mountains and their biodiversity.
  • Research webinars: between 2 and 4 GMBA network members, including at least one Early Career Researcher, present complementary research on a specific topic of interest in mountain biodiversity science. Presentations are scientific and technical and followed by a Q&A.
