More than 30 experts have participated in the eight meetings held this year, and 20 entities and administrations have been present.

On May 22, coinciding with the International Day for Biological Diversity, we began to broadcast #Biodirectos, a series of online meetings whose objective is to raise awareness of the important role that biodiversity plays in relation to human health, as well as to highlight the opportunities offered by a green reconstruction after the global crisis generated by COVID-19.

During these meetings we have addressed the following topics: biodiversity as an ally to curb pandemics; the opportunities offered by a green reconstruction; how to prevent future pandemics by strengthening the control of illegal trafficking of species; the importance of maintaining a balance in the health of marine ecosystems; solutions to the crisis from rural entrepreneurship and the demographic challenge; air quality for a healthy environment; research, technological development and innovation in aquaculture; and monitoring COVID-19 through wastewater.

More than 30 experts from various fields have participated in the eight meetings held this year, with the aim of seeking solutions to the main challenges we face as a society, such as the health and environmental crisis, 20 entities and administrations have been present and have had a follow-up of nearly 60,000 views.

In 2021 we will continue this cycle by addressing new topics.

All the #Biodirectos meetings are available in a biolibrary, which can be consulted here.
