Do you know knowledge gaps, research priorities or emerging topics which should be addressed to tackle biodiversity loss? On this site, you can report them to be included into our Knowledge Gap Catalogue which researchers, funders and policymakers can use for choosing study topics, drafting research agendas and making funding decisions.
