Linking Biodiversity Monitoring Networks to Assess Biodiversity Change Across Scales

GEO BON Global Conference - October 13, 2023
Our session will present key questions that arise from a bottom-up approach of monitoring biodiversity, and how to connect currently running monitoring programs to national, regional and international objectives. We will address issues of governance, data and information infrastructure, protocols and indicators, and development of their capabilities through the networks. We’ll emphasize how Essential Biodiversity Variables can be combined with observations from monitoring networks to make inferences about biodiversity change at various levels. We also identify some tools that can help support this effort. The session will have short presentations (e.g., 10 min) and a panel discussion to share issues and solutions that fit needs, especially in regions where investment in monitoring capacity is needed.
