SUMMARY:Fungal Conservation with Mycosphaera and Nature Québec
DESCRIPTION:Fungi play an essential role in ecosystem functioning\, yet they remain largely overlooked and underrepresented in biodiversity conservation efforts. While scientific knowledge is advancing rapidly\, significant challenges remain in documenting\, protecting\, and integrating fungi into conservation policies and practices.  \n\n\n\nThis webinar will provide an overview of the current state of fungal conservation in Québec\, highlighting the key issues facing this kingdom that is still too often forgotten. The speakers will also present initiatives to advance fungal knowledge and conservation in Québec\, including field inventories\, citizen science projects\, and innovative collaborations among conservation organizations.  \n\n\n\nIn this context\, the webinar will showcase the partnership between Mycosphaera and Nature Québec\, which are working together to better document fungal diversity in old-growth forests and in areas proposed for protected status in Québec\, while raising public awareness about the importance of fungi for ecosystem health.  \n\n\n\nJoin us to discover why biodiversity conservation cannot be truly complete without recognizing and conserving the fungal kingdom.
