Monday, November 3rd, marked the opening of ISFC4, attended by university authorities, IUCN officials, and research stakeholders. Under the theme Mainstreaming Fungal Conservation, the five-day congress brings together 72 mycologists and researchers from 27 countries to share scientific advances on fungi and their integration into biodiversity conservation strategies.
The evening featured an online side event with African CBD focal points (Benin, Algeria, Madagascar, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Togo, Tunisia, Mali, and others), several of which agreed to include fungi in their #NBSAPs (National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans).
