Metrics & measures

Biodiversity Barometer @ Union for Ethical Biotrade (UEBT)

Conservation Effects Assessment Project @ NRCS

Conservation Evidence

     · "...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."

     · Evidence Champions

     · Publications:

          Sutherland, W. 2022. Transforming conservation.

          Sutherland, W. et al. 2018. What works in conservation.

Conservation Metrics

Core Indicators @ IPBES

Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs)

Living Planet Index (LPI)

     · “...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...”

Measures @ WCS

Monitoring Matters Network

Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (PREDICTS)

Species Threat Abatement and Restoration (STAR) metric @ IUCN

Solutions case studies

Climate Adaptation Knowledge Exchange (CAKE)

    · “Welcome to the world’s largest and most used source of climate adaptation case studies

       and resources. Share lessons, ideas, and opportunities with others in the field.”

IUCN Contributions for Nature Platform

Panorama: Inspiring Protected Area Solutions

     · "We promote examples of inspiring and replicable solutions for a healthy planet.”

Institutions

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."
