Deliverables: Monitoring Programs

• Species population trends

– Increase the number of national to regional species monitoring programs or the harmonization of existing programs (Birds, Butterflies, Plants, Other taxa)

• Species ranges

– Increase the number of initiatives (e.g. citizen science) recording species occurrences

Deliverables: Datasets

• Species population trends

– Abundances for a representative set of species

• Species ranges

– Presence surveys for a representative set of species (combining GBIF datasets with other datasets) – The World’s Worst: Priority invasive species across environments, taxa and regions

• Species traits

– Index available databases

• Species interactions

– Index available databases

Deliverables: Reports and handbooks

• Species population trends, ranges, traits and

interactions

– Blueprint for a global monitoring scheme based on existing LTER sites – Report on regions with underrepresented monitoring – Handbook of field-assessing techniques and procedures on EBVs to be used in capacity-building workshops in rural communities of high diversity developing countries – Listing and Monitoring Priority Invaders: Handbook for Countries, Data Providers and Managers

Integrated product

• Restoring 15% of degraded ecosystems

– Identifying areas of degraded ecosystems

• Ecosystem extent and function / remote sensing
• Ecosystem services

– Choosing candidates for restoration

• Irreplaceability
• Scenarios
• Protected areas

– Monitoring restoration

• Implement observation network for EBVs on restoration sites
• Harmonize observation data
• Serve the data

Challenges

• GEO BON branding to on-going initiatives
• Institutional arrangement and governance

– Links to national and regional programs

• Funding !!!!
