EBONE - European Biodiversity Observation Network http//: www. ebone. wur. nl The GEO-Biodiversity task: • BI-07 -01: Developing a Global Biodiversity Observation Network: Coordinate/improve biodiversity (animals, plants, genes) observation, assessment and conservation through satellite, aerial and in-situ data. . . • Carried out by Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON): led by EC (EBONE), USA (NASA) and DIVERSITAS • GEO BON consists of 8 WGs: Genetic/Phylogenetic Diversity, Terrestrial Species monitoring; Terrestrial Ecosystem Change; Freshwater Ecosystem Change; Marine Ecosystem Change; Ecosystem Services; Integration through Modelling and Data Integration
EBONE - European Biodiversity Observation Network http//: www. ebone. wur. nl Priorities for 2012 -2015 • Development of global biodiversity observation that integrates in situ and RS information; • Expand general indicators across the globe (e. g. Common Bird Indicator); • Expand the LTER, BIOTA, NEON networks into a sustainable global network; • Global analysis of ecosystem carbon services; • Online database for marine observation data • Develop methods and database for genetic diversity observation.
EBONE - European Biodiversity Observation Network http//: www. ebone. wur. nl Organisational aspects • Development of a virtual biodiversity WMO (through IPBES? ): standards, harmonisation and coordination; • Establishment of systems for rapid exchange of biodiversity and related information; • Coordination and exchange of research and data and training; • Coordination and organisation of capacity building.
