Konstantina Spiliopoulou has been involved in a chapter of the new IUCN report entitled Identification and validation of Western African freshwater Key Biodiversity Areas. She contributed to the chapter 9 entitled Key Biodiversity Areas where she worked on KBAs identification.
Even if the Inspire4Nature Consortium did not gather in Marseille, some fellows such as Konstantina Spiliopoulou still attended the IUCN Congress. She presented remotely an e-poster entitled Don’t just cover it up: Questions of effectiveness in relation to conservation targets in September 2021.

Fellow Martin Beal gave a talk entitled track2KBA: an R package for the identification of important sites for biodiversity from tracking data on 10 August 2021 at the 2021 American Ornithologists Society’s Annual Meeting (i.e. AOS & SCO – SOC Meeting 2021).
You can listen to him here ! His talk was part of the ‘Great R packages for Ornithologists’ session. Come and read more in Martin’s Twitter thread below.

The final chapter of the 5th and last Inspire4Nature training session was dedicated to preparing fellows for successful job interviews, as they continue their career path in either academic or non-academic organisations.
After preparing mock applications to one of three real job offers, fellows staged mock interviews, taking turns in the role of applicants or of members of the selection committee, coming up with really challenging questions. Even if nobody got a job today, real jobs will certainly be coming soon – this lot will not stay in the job market for long!
This training module was co-organised by the CNRS and UNEP-WCMC, with the participation of Ana Rodrigues (senior researcher at the CNRS), Matt Jones (Head of Programme Business & Biodiversity at UNEP-WCMC) and Elise Belle (Senior Project Portfolio Officer at WCMC-Europe). It took place remotely, as meeting in person was still not possible.
Fellow Gonzalo Albaladejo gave a talk entitled Environmental heterogeneity favors fast-lived and larger species on 17 June 2021 during the symposium III of the online 100th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Mammalogists.
