Knowledge Sharing for Biodiversity Conservation in the ASEAN Region
Outline ACB Background Knowledge Sharing Approach Rationale Infrastructure Knowledge Products The Clearing House Mechanism ACB Publications Videos Partnerships
The ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity Facilitates cooperation and coordination among the members of the ASEAN, and With relevant national governments, regional and international organizations, on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of such biodiversity in the ASEAN region Thematic interests (ABS, TEEB, AHPs, GTI, IAS, PES, B&B, CC, Green, Blue Economy, etc.)
The ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity Intergovernmental Organization Major Concerns ASEAN Member States’ Compliance to MEAs Programme Development and Implementation Biodiversity Information Management Has Partnership Agreements with CBD, GBIF, IUCN, BIRDLIFE, PEMSEA, KfW, GIZ Implements projects with ASEAN, ASEAN + 3 (China, Japan, RoKorea), India

Knowledge Sharing Approach Infrastructure Knowledge Products Partnerships
Promote standard practices • Adopt a globally compatible database architecture • in National CHMs • For species and protected areas • Share info by using readily available online and offline databases • Georeference information • Use information for “good” things only to earn the trust of collaborators • Organize into a community of collaborators to derive agreements (data contribution, use access, updating, populating, KM products, etc)

Darwin Core • Standard format derived from previous standards (e.g., Dublin Core, etc.) • Contains concepts (‘fields’, elements’ or ‘attributes’) that can be used to describe the most common information about a specimen. • Contains the following species information: • Taxonomic classification, • Specimen identification, • Locality details, • Collecting event information (who, why, where, when,how), • Biological data about the specimen & reference images More information on Darwin Core can be viewed at http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/
Standard Outputs - Species • Species Name • Description • Distribution • Photos where available • Common names • Red List Status • Other information
Results of compatible Infrastructure • Interoperable data • Easy to understand / implement • More data becomes available, increase in willingness to contribute • Ease of manipulation • Summaries • Caters to stakeholders’ / AMS’ info needs

So what’s in it for us? • Update biodiversity reports (NBSAP, etc) • Determine KBAs and inform policy on location of PAs • Enable accurate analysis of ecosystem state, threats • Contribute to prep of • PA management plans • Species conservation measures
What can be achieved? • Science-based decision making • Better informed policies, enforcement strategies, management plans • Improved governance • Streamlined use of funds Best Practices Enforcement Management Species Conservation PAs Sound Governance
Knowledge Products • Caters to information needs of target audiences • Clear articulation of messages • Easy to understand and relate • Sticks to memory • Easy to share • Optimizes use of multimedia • Available in popular formats
Partnerships • Nurture a data sharing environment • Complementation of data • Caters to a larger audience / geography
ASEAN China DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS • ASEAN-China Environmental Protection Cooperation Strategy 2009-2015, Major implementing institution: ASEAN-China Environmental Cooperation Center (CAEC) • to assist and provide support to AMS and China on the coordination and implementation of environmental cooperation policies, programs, projects and activities between China and ASEAN on matters related to biodiversity and ecological conservation.
DEVELOPMENT ASEAN Japan PARTNERS • Collaboration among the AMS and the East and Southeast Asia Biodiversity Information Initiative (ESABII – Japan). • Global Taxonomic Initiative (GTI) Regional Action Plan, to identify collaborative activities • Enhance capacities in taxonomic knowledge for strengthening scientific basis in decision making • Asia – Pacific Biodiversity Observation Network
DEVELOPMENT ASEAN Korea PARTNERS • AKECOP - ASEAN-Korea Environmental Cooperation Project • Experience sharing on the restoration of degraded forest ecosystems and sustainable forest management • Conservation Campus at the World Conservation Congress • Proposal preparation
DEVELOPMENT ASEAN India PARTNERS • Developing and implementing a national ABS Legal Framework in preparation to accede to and ratify the Nagoya Protocol • Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL) to preserve, document and protect traditional knowledge and prevent misappropriation of biodiversity and associated TK • Increase the capacity of AMS in terms of increasing awareness and better understanding of intellectual property rights in relation to biodiversity, including ABS • Share experiences in community ABS practices

Terminology - Common meaning / interpretation of words, level off our understanding on commonly used terminologiesand acronyms Comparable Methods Information integrity – data, maps Duplication of research Availability of information for trending across sites, through time Adequate data volume y Data / Information Harmonization Challenges
Willingness to contribute / share Type of information contributed Frequency of data contributions Sustainable sources of funds IT capacity Personnel Equipment Limitations
On Interpretation and data repatriation – convene experts to engage in: Collaborative development of knowledge product ideas Target conservation management effectiveness Periodic preparation of national and regional status of ASEAN ecosystems Easy to read and understand outputs for policy makers and protected area and park rangers Recommended Mechanisms
Accessible information through the regional CHM / BISS databases Functional repository of ASEAN species, ecosystems and protected area information, Regular regional summaries / analysis of information, biodiversity trends and other knowledge products A community of active data contributors Ready reference for the state of ASEAN biodiversity reports Prospective Outputs
Encourage continuous data contribution and analysis Resolve data compatibility issues Repatriate analyzed and integrated information for national use - in policy development, communicating biodiversity conservation, strategic prioritization and establishment of protected areas. Next Steps
Institutional arrangements for data collection, exchange and management: Assign a national focal point with clear roles and responsibilities on data collection and management Organize information sharing guidelines and partnerships Store information at ACB Recommended Mechanisms
