Monitoring biodiversity isn’t just important – it’s essential. 🌱 From conservation efforts to policy-making, understanding our impact on nature starts with accurate biological recording.

Join us at the Biological Recording: Local to National Virtual Symposium, where we’ll delve into:
✨ How local site-based records support conservation and land management.
✨ The role of national surveillance in shaping government policies and legislation.
✨ The critical contributions of biological recorders, citizen scientists, and conservation professionals.

This is more than just a symposium – it’s a celebration of the power of data and collaboration in protecting our planet. 🌟
