<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The scientific work will be carried out in five Working Groups (WGs), each adhering to specific Research Coordination or\/and Capacity Building Objectives. The Action strives to follow the JEDI (Justice Equity Diversity Inclusion) principles and to increase the inclusiveness and diversity of the team, promoting gender, age, and geographical balance amongst WGs, EDC, Core Group and Management Committee.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

GENOA strongly focuses on fostering interdisciplinarity, empowering young researchers and continuing collaborations by targeting inter-sectorial public-private and international mobility, contributing to dual-career opportunities with stakeholder groups. GENOA covers multiple professional stages and levels of expertise and members can join more than one WG based on their interests. Scientific tasks and objectives of WGs will be tightly integrated through sharing scientific data, researchers through STSMs, ideas and approaches through participation in meetings and workshops and creating new knowledge via training schools will enhance transversal working. The interplay of the working groups, tasks, and activities to foster genetic diversity knowledge is visualised in the image below.<\/p>\n

The main role of a foresail is to stabilise and increase performance and illustrate how improved genetic diversity knowledge will significantly increase efficiency of biodiversity conservation by using the outcomes of the five working groups and activities as well as in close interplay and tuning with policy and stakeholders.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Informing and supporting emerging and future policy (links to RCO5 and CBO2,4). The WG will focus on better integrating the protection, management, and conservation of genetic diversity in EU, national and subnational policies, working in cooperation with policymakers in Europe. This will build on recent efforts that brought science to global policy commitments (Carroll et al., 2023). The success of this WG will be measured by the number of countries assisted in drafting CBD National Reports and the number of research-policy-practice hubs on genetic diversity at the national, regional, and pan-European levels.<\/p>\n

Objectives<\/h2>\n

O1.1 Conduct a comprehensive evaluation and benchmarking exercise of how genetic diversity is included in national and in EU biodiversity policies similar to Hoban et al., 2021 and Laikre (2010), including existing, imminent and in draft legislation, such as the EU Nature Restoration Law.<\/p>\n

\n

O1.2 Evaluate, for at least 10 countries, the incorporation of genetic diversity conservation (including with indicators) within National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plans (NBSAPs, submitted to CBD) and aim to understand national and regional challenges and opportunities towards genetic conservation.<\/p>\n

O1.3 Assist national governments in the drafting of at least 10 new country level CBD National Reports addressing genetic diversity and including genetic diversity indicators.<\/p>\n

O1.4 Facilitate development of research-policy-practice hubs on genetic diversity at the national, regional, and pan- European levels, to foster comprehension and regular communication among stakeholders across Europe.<\/p>\n

Tasks<\/h2>\n

T1.1 Series of workshops to learn about and evaluate EU and national policies for genetic diversity (O1.1, O1.2).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

T1.2 Virtual workshops or STSMs for providing advice and guidance on CBD reports (O1.3).<\/p>\n

T1.3 Regional workshops, held in the local language, to provide networking and drafting of coordination mechanisms for regional hubs (O1.4).<\/p>\n

T1.4 Training School where scientists, conservation practitioners and other relevant stakeholders (e.g., IPLCs representatives, NGOs) can learn about relevant policies aiming at addressing genetic diversity loss and policy relevance at a regional and sub-regional level (O1.4).<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Use the scientific team to build capacity needed for successful implementation of genetic diversity indicators (links to RCO1,3,4 and CBO2). This WG will create simple but effective support tools and build the capacity to implement genetic diversity indicators that do not need DNA data. The success of this WG will be measured by the number of tools and videorecorded guidance produced and used at the national, regional, and pan-European levels.<\/p>\n

Objectives<\/h2>\n

O2.1 Improve existing and emerging tools to facilitate genetic diversity indicator implementation for non-experts, including secure and easy-to-use data collection tools, data storage, and modular computer code that is easy to \u2018mix and match\u2019 for calculating indicators.<\/p>\n

O2.2 Contribute to computational\/ GIS tools to leverage citizen science databases such as iNaturalist and eBird to calculate the Populations Maintained indicator, by defining population boundaries and documenting loss of populations, based on scientifically tested rules (Hoban et al., 2023).<\/p>\n

O2.3 Co-create written and video-recorded guidance for applying genetic diversity indicators,

<\/div>including clear, standardised terminology as well as detailed and regionally relevant (e.g., tailored to different regions of Europe) test cases for easy understanding, all translated into local languages.<\/p>\n

O2.4 Elucidate the relationships between genetic diversity indicator values, inherent genetic diversity, national and global Red List and Habitats Directive threat status of species (and other, e.g., CITES, climate change vulnerability, EDGE), to clarify the distinct role of each approach.<\/p>\n

Tasks<\/h2>\n

T2.1 STMs and a workshop or hackathon (rapid computer coding sessions in a collaborative environment) (O2.1, O2.2).<\/p>\n

T2.2 Three workshops, which include stakeholders\/ \u201cusers\u201d e.g., National Focal Points and Red List personnel: to co-create written (guidelines, SOPs, PowerPoints) and recorded (videos) guidance for genetic diversity indicators (O2.3).<\/p>\n

T2.3 Workshop on review of knowledge about effective population size relating to the indicators (O2.4).<\/p>\n

T2.4 STSMs to perform simulations of the genetic diversity indicators and assess correlations to e.g., genetic diversity statistics, EBVs, Red List status (O2.4).<\/p>\n

T2.5 Training Schools that will follow a cocreation process with stakeholders, nationally, regionally and at the European level,  where stakeholder relevant needs will be identified; the school will cover SOPs for how to measure genetic diversity and the genetic indicators (O2.3).<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Improve conservation management of species and ecosystems using genetic diversity knowledge (links to RCO1,2 and CBO1). This WG will complement Working Group 1 on policy by engaging with different species and habitat management stakeholders.<\/p>\n

The WG will assess the degree to which species (e.g., IUCN threatened species) and habitat management plans and actions have or have not incorporated genetic diversity concepts (e.g., population genetic structure, effective population sizes, hybrids, genetic connectivity, etc.) and co-construct strategies for integrating genetic diversity information for improved management.<\/p>\n

This will enhance case-anchored practitioners and community engagement (through links with Ecosystem Services). The success of this WG will be measured by the number of reports and publications resulting from STSMs and workshops and the number of species and area assessments, conservation and restoration plans supplemented with genetic diversity knowledge.<\/p>\n

Objectives<\/h2>\n

O3.1. Assess national, regional, European Red Lists and conservation\/restoration plans, including interconnections between in situ and ex-situ conservation plans, for key European species to determine the extent to which genetic diversity data, knowledge, approaches, and opportunities could be and are already integrated. Identify strategies to refine these assessments and species plans for improved genetic diversity conservation.<\/p>\n

O3.2. Assess the National reports on the EU habitats and bird directives, and Red List of Ecosystems (headline indicator A.1 of the KMGBF) assessments in Europe, to determine the extent to which genetic diversity data, knowledge, approaches, and opportunities could be and are already integrated. Identify strategies to refine these assessments and area management plans to incorporate genetic diversity with little or no additional cost.<\/p>\n

O3.3. Examine how genetic diversity in key European species is interconnected with genetic and functional diversity across species within ecosystems and where relevant, provide strategies to improve genetic diversity conservation across species.<\/p>\n

O3.4. Identify and examine strategies to improve the management of biological systems using genetic information when indicators are not applicable or difficult to apply, e.g., hybridization, clonality.<\/p>\n

Tasks<\/h2>\n

T3.1 Workshop to analyse Red List of species assessments and relevant species conservation and restoration plans (O3.1).<\/p>\n

T3.2 Workshop to harvest and analyse reports on the EU habitats and bird directives and Red List of Ecosystems assessments (O3.2).<\/p>\n

T3.3 STSMs and\/or VMGs to digest and report on the extent genetic diversity is included (O3.1, O3.2, O3.3).<\/p>\n

T3.4 Workshop together with key stakeholders, such as IUCN CPSG Europe, EEA, and IUCN European regional Office, based on STSM\/VMG reports, to identify strategies for refining species and area conservation and restoration plans (O3.1, O3.2, O3.3).<\/p>\n

T3.5 STSM or VMG to review information and suggest genetics-informed management action in systems (O3.4).<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Use of multidisciplinary approaches to bridge the communication divide and increase public awareness about the relevance of genetic diversity. (links to RCO4 and CBO3,5). By integrating social and behavioural sciences, we aim to identify and address challenges in communicating the relevance of genetic diversity by conservation managers, policymakers, and the public.<\/p>\n

The effectiveness of this WG’s initiatives will be gauged by the extent to which these targeted audiences gain a clearer understanding of genetic diversity’s importance. Key performance indicators will include increased participation in genetic conservation workshops, positive shifts in public awareness, and the implementation of informed policies by decision-makers. Feedback loops will be established, ensuring continuous improvement based on real-world results and stakeholder input. Ultimately, the success of WG4 lies in effectively bridging knowledge gaps, promoting the assessment of genetic indicators, and facilitating interdisciplinary collaborations.<\/p>\n

This will lead to a heightened awareness and utilisation of genetic indicators in strategies aimed at conserving genetic diversity.<\/p>\n

Objectives<\/h2>\n

O4.1 Assess policymakers\u2019, conservation professionals\u2019 and other key actors\u2019 understanding and valuation of genetic diversity, to explore positions and reasons for obstacles.<\/p>\n

O4.2 Collaborate with social scientists, communication specialists and design professionals to improve, refine and innovate dialogue strategies pertaining to genetic diversity conservation (e.g., a dedicated web-based, optimising existing policy briefs, region-specific examples for each country, and multilingual and visually engaging infographics, comics, cartoons, videos, and other media).<\/p>\n

O4.3 Identify opportunities for engaging young people by establishing synergies with prominent youth movements around themes of climate change, conservation, and socioenvironmental justice, including student\/youth representatives in the leadership team.<\/p>\n

O4.4 Develop accessible synopses of advancements in conservation genetics tailored for the public via dedicated blogs or video series on YouTube.<\/p>\n

O4.5 Broadly advertise paradigmatic, engaging case studies in conservation genetics (e.g., Iberian lynx) by leveraging partnerships with conservation agencies, zoos, botanical gardens, and museums (and their organisations e.g., botanic garden and zoo associations) and other organisations that have broad reach to the public.<\/p>\n

Tasks<\/h2>\n

T4.1 Focus groups and active participation forums in different countries with conservation key actors (O4.1, O4.2).<\/p>\n

T4.2 VMGs to develop, guide and launch interviews and questionnaires on knowledge, perceptions and practices concerning genetic diversity in different countries, in particular ITCs (O4.1, O4.2).<\/p>\n

Multifaceted networking in the biodiversity monitoring community and beyond (links to CBO4,5). This WG will enable networking and coordination with other biodiversity and nature conservation organisations in the COST countries, including Biodiversa+, AHTEG, EuropaBON, IPBES (including ONet), Society for Conservation Biology, Coalition for Conservation Genetics, IUCN, and ERGA to promote collaboration across the
\nbiodiversity pillars (genes, species, ecosystems). Consequently, the Action stays current on scientific and applied developments and remains flexible to incorporate these into its activities.<\/p>\n

This WG will also ensure consistent, timely and clear communication among WGs and the Action management. To
\nensure an uninterrupted workflow, information delivery, and completion of tasks, an Executive Dissemination Committee (EDC), consisting of experts and YPGs from each WG, will be formed. EDC will also strive to include local communicators to help break hub language barriers by using some of the available online management tools to facilitate the internal work and allow continuous updates to the progress track.<\/p>\n

EDC will provide inputs for the Action\u2019s website, social channels, news editions, and reports. The news editions containing all relevant information about the Action\u2019s various activities will be sent biweekly to the action participants.<\/p>\n

Objectives<\/h2>\n

O5.1 Strengthen the involvement of conservation geneticists in broader biodiversity conservation initiatives by tracking and attending pertinent meetings\/ conferences (e.g. EBR in March 2024: https:\/\/www.biodiversity.be\/6008), calls for proposals, and coordination activities, and ensuring proactive representation (especially IPBES and EuropaBON).<\/p>\n

O5.2 Enhance the involvement of non-geneticist conservation stakeholders and\/or professionals in conservation genetics initiatives by strategically providing access and integration points to major conservation genetics conferences and related endeavours.<\/p>\n

O5.3 Identify opportunities for disseminating lessons learned on biodiversity monitoring, encompassing both genetic and non-genetic methodologies, across partners and stakeholders.<\/p>\n

O5.4 Communicate in a timely manner across the working groups to efficiently work together, allow all members to join initiatives, and ensure inclusivity and transparency by soliciting people with different backgrounds to offer different\/missing perspectives on a given topic.<\/p>\n

Tasks<\/h2>\n

T5.1 Organise STSMs and VMGs for early career researchers to meet with crossdisciplinary researchers and support their attendance at conferences (O5.1, O5.2).<\/p>\n

T5.2 Develop a help-line forum on the Action\u2019s website to allow for \u2018technical assistance\u2019 on any question about genetic diversity and divide this forum into indicators, policy, management, communication etc. (O5.3).<\/p>\n

T5.3 Develop a flowchart of the Action\u2019s objectives, tasks, and deliverables and keep track of deadlines, using an online platform (O5.4).<\/p>\n

T5.4 Ensure the updated information flow between different working groups, towards the chair and co-chair, and the whole community, through establishing an Executive Dissemination Committee and sending Biweekly News to inform participants on progress, actions, publications (O5.4).<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
