In What Ways Does the IUCN Collaborate with Toxicologists?
The IUCN collaborates with toxicologists through research partnerships and workshops. One of the significant collaborations is through the Chemicals and Pollution Specialist Group, which focuses on the impacts of chemical pollutants on biodiversity. This group works with toxicologists to conduct risk assessments, develop monitoring protocols, and create educational materials aimed at reducing the ecological impact of toxic substances. These collaborations ensure that conservation efforts are informed by the latest scientific findings in toxicology.
