[HIGHLIGHTS] Alarm in the Mexican scientific community at the degradation of Conabio: “It is killing it slowly from hunger”

The Government decided to incorporate the National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity into Semarnat. “If Conabio were a living organism, what the recent Government decree does is slowly starve it,” says biologist and author of countless scientific works, José Sarukhán.

The decree has generated alarm among the national scientific community. In a statement sent to América Futura, the Government defends the measure, saying it seeks to “make the agency more transparent and strengthen it”
