A New project in Uzbekistan will help prevent potential risks from living modified organisms (LMOs) to #biodiversity. Without safeguards, LMOs can contaminate or displace indigenous crops—threatening wild relatives of apples, walnuts & almonds 🌿 Funded by @theGEF, and implemented by IUCN & @FAO. info.iucn.org/4cMalLI @FAOADG_ECA @IUCN_ECARO
