The next lichen Red Listing workshop will be held virtually on January 18-21, 2021 from 7:00 a.m. - 10:00 p.m. PST each day. Please register for the workshop by Monday, January 11th using the following link: https://forms.gle/BxeDpmqzFgfYbDfZ7
The workshop is free, but you will need to register to receive the zoom links to join the meeting. We will be focusing primarily on North American species in this workshop, and there will also be a group working on South American species.
Global Fungal Red Listing Website
As you are preparing assessments ahead of time, please be sure to add species to the global fungal red list initiative website (http://iucn.ekoo.se/en/iucn/welcome). As you are adding assessments to the fungal forum, or revising assessments already on the website, please be sure to add the 'Lichen virtual workshop - January 18-21, 2020' tag in the 'Assign to Event or Workshop' box. This way we will be able to easily find each other's assessments to discuss during the workshop. This box should be on the right of the species page, near the top.
