Résumé en anglais

<div><p>Recent advancements in genomics technology present a diverse range of opportunities and challenges for conservation practitioners and decision-makers. Some of these technologies are discussed to be applied to the most pressing conservation challenges, such as small population management, or controlling invasive species. However, choosing the right tools from the genomic toolbox can be a challenging task for the conservation community. We thus here highlight the advancement of the field and for which applications, new technologies might be helpful not only for researchers, but also to managers. In each case, ethical, and political considerations must be considered to ensure responsible and informed implementation.</p><p>In addition, we here present results from a survey during a webinar where we presented several case studies to the audience of more than 50 professionals from the field of applied conservation. Our aim was to increase the understanding and application of genomic and biotechnological advancements. While the community is highly interested in topics such as gene drive and editing, or application of eDNA, many participants identified these topics as challenging, underscoring the need for more targeted information and training. This feedback highlights the critical role of continuous education and dialogue about the implementation of new genomic tools.</p></div>< Réduire
