Overview

This analysis uncovers gaps in biodiversity data systems, highlighting their implications for conservation efforts.

Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate current online biodiversity data systems and identify delivery gaps affecting decision-making.
  • Developed a database of 698 global, over 200 regional, and at least 1,400 national online biodiversity data systems.
  • Applied a newly developed typology for these systems and the DPSR+B framework for categorization.
  • Assessed the clarity of target groups for these systems.
  • Identified significant delivery gaps in systems regarding agricultural and wildlife-related supply chains.
  • Highlighted the confusion users face in navigating biodiversity data, which can lead to ineffective conservation efforts.
  • Recommended improvements for next-generation online systems to enhance usability and decision-making.
