3 1. Building up a global species monitoring network 2. Mobilizing species data for describing biodiversity change 3. Delivering products for users at national, regional and global scales in support of NBSAPs and Aichi targets

4 Goal 1-Building the network... Deliverable name Building up a global species monitoring network - Establish partnership and integrate existing monitoring programs Deliverable type Observation system enhancement Deliverable description Establish partnership and communication between programs and integrate their activities as building blocks within an emerging global network, thereby creating a GEO BON brand based on an agreed-upon set of principles. This is one of the core goals of GEO BON.

5 Deliverable name: Catalogue of statewide or wider scale monitoring programs, datasets and data sources Deliverable type: On-line database Deliverable description: Compilation of meta-information on ongoing multi-species, systematic survey efforts for biodiversity monitoring over large spatial scales (e.g. nations, states). Each survey needs to fulfill minimum requirements, like multi-annual sampling, long-term perspective, quantitative data (e.g. counts) or detection and non-detection (i.e. presence data). Online database, allowing input from within and outside of GEOBON and RBONs. Users must record the spatial and temporal extent and grain.

6 Deliverable name: Capacity building for species monitoring in globally underrepresented regions ( gap regions ) Deliverable type: Capacity building plan focused on monitoring, funding proposal and first stage of implementation (by 2015). Deliverable description: We will design a minimum set of monitoring activities that could be carried out in a capacity building context (recruitment and support of personnel, sampling design, field protocols, data collection and processing, data management, and information transfer to stakeholders). We aim to have at least have one proposal designed and submitted by end of 2013.

7

8 Goal 2 Mobilizing data... Deliverable name: Species population trend dataset Deliverable type: Geo-referenced grid-based web dataset for several groups/regions Description: Describes changes in the abundances of a representative set of species in a world grid and/or environmental strata Inputs required; for each input provide the following: Input name: Geo-referenced abundance data for birds, butterflies, and trees. Input description: (a) Geo-referenced abundance data, for at least two time steps, for birds, butterflies, and trees; (b) Defined and agreed algorithm for the grid resolution / range of environmental strata.

9 Goal 2 Mobilizing data... Deliverable name: The World s Worst: Priority invasive species across environments, taxa and regions Deliverable type: Data set, maps and publication/s. Description: A baseline data set consisting of designated priority invasive species (i.e. having adopted methods/approach outlined in handbook) by taxon, environment and country. Inputs required: Partner time and expertise, four researchers employed full time for 3-5 years to generate data, custom database design.

10 Goal 3 Delivering products... Manuals, reports, papers, policy briefs via a GEO BON website

12 Goal 3 Delivering products... Name Deliverable Description Delivery date Funding required Lead and Aichi targets Development of the Essential EBV paper Biodiversity Variables concept None Henrique et al. Multiple Based on the catalogue of monitoring programs and on environmental stratification, identify area that are subsampled. Dirk, Neil, Gap analysis on species monitoring 2014 Partially secured through EU BON Maria Multiple Global monitoring scheme of EBVs based on intensive sites Case study of organizing biodiversity data around EBVs Evaluation of the possibility to use intensive site data to complement the extensive site monitoring 2015 Partially secured through EU BON Dirk Multiple Using the four species EBVs (populations, ranges, traits and interactions) we will demonstrate and explore proof of concept by exploring trend patterns in birds, butterflies and plants in Europe/New Zealand/Africa k Euros Assessing indicators against real datasets Secured in HarmBio Evaluating the integration of monitoring data collected at Integrating extensive and intensive multiple scales, contrasting network monitoring with EBVs and intensive and extensive identifying gaps approaches.
