General information & reference
DiscoverWildlife.org @ BBC
Key data & reference sources
· “improves research methodology by collaboratively making biodiversity literature openly
available to the world as part of a global biodiversity community.”
Integrated Biodiversity Assessment Tool (IBAT)
Events
UN Decade On Biodiversity, 2011-2020
Conservation effectiveness ~ Metrics & measures
Biodiversity Barometer @ Union for Ethical Biotrade (UEBT)
Biodiversity Indicators Partnership
· "The Biodiversity Indicators Partnership (BIP) is a global initiative to promote the development
and delivery of biodiversity indicators. Its primary role is to serve the global user community
by responding to the indicator requests of the CBD and other biodiversity-related Conventions,
for IPBES, for reporting on the Sustainable Development Goals, and for use by national and
regional governments."
Collaboration for Environmental Evidence
Conservation Measures Partnership (CMP)
Conservation Effects Assessment Project @ NRCS
· "...a free, authoritative information resource designed to support decisions about how to
maintainand restore global biodiversity. We summarise evidence from the scientific literature
about the effects of conservation interventions, such as methods of habitat or species
management."
· Publications:
Sutherland, W. 2022. Transforming conservation.
Sutherland, W. et al. 2018. What works in conservation.
Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs)
· “...a measure of the state of the world's biological diversity based on population trends of
vertebrate species from terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats. The LPI was adopted by
the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) as an indicator of progress towards its 2011-2020
targets and can play an important role in monitoring progress towards the post-2020 goals and
targets...”
