  2. Overview • GEO and GEOSS • GEO BON • Implementation • Challenges • Next Steps Sagra buqueti edof

  3. Group on Earth Observations Response to 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development Global collaboration needed Enhance interoperability Voluntary partnership 79 governments + EC 56 participating organizations Chiasognathus granti

  4. GEOSS Global Earth Observing System of Systems Disasters Health Energy Climate Water Weather Agriculture Ecosystems Biodiversity GEO BON } 9 SBAs

  5. What is GEO BON? Global network, and collaboration Interoperating biodiversity observation systems Collect, manage, analyze, share data on status of the world’s biodiversity Scholes et al., Science 321: 22 August 2008

  6. Some components of a BON Collection Storage & distribution Tools Partnerships Many observations… but not fully utilized Oxynodera moczarski

  7. Collecting observations • Many gaps • Spatial • Temporal • Taxonomic • Topical • Uneven coverage Oxynodera distincta Lack of coordination

  8. Storage and distribution • Many systems • Many observations • Dispersed, unconnected • Little coordination • Sharing is difficult Doryphora undata Lack of system interoperability

  9. Important capabilities missing Capabilities not integrated System-specific Data utilization too difficult Tools for working with data Pseudomesomphalia illustris Lack the full set of tools

  10. Partnerships Collaboration Coordination Network of BONS GEO BON

  11. GEO BON: A network of BONs • Data collection coordination • Global sampling framework • Ecosystems, species, genes, ecosystem services • System interoperability • Guidelines and coordination • New and coordinated tools • Extraction, synthesis, & visualization • Stronger partnerships Community-led activities

  12. Focal areas Quantifying and mapping drivers of biodiversity change Recording impacts of biodiversity change Especially vital ecosystem services Reporting biodiversity status and its changes Leptinotarsa flavitarsus

  13. Focal areas Ecosystems Species Genes Ecosystem services Prosicela vittata

  14. GEO BON Community Network In-situ Remote • Observations • Ecosystems • Species • Genes • Ecosystem services Observational Needs Coordination & facilitation Data Extraction & Visualization Tools • Observation Products • Maps • Status indicators • Change metrics • … End Users

  15. History 2003: GEO forms 2006-2007: GEO BON established Concept Document drafted April 2008: stakeholder meeting Blessed basic concept October 2008: Implementation Overview November 2008: GEO V Plenary

  16. Target users • Governments and agencies • Parties to international conventions • Conservation organizations • Decision makers • Researchers • Public Megistomela punctatissima

  17. What value will GEO BON add? Gymnopleurus nitens • Global framework for detecting change • Coordinated observations • Improved information delivery • New assessment and forecast products, e.g. • Global maps of ecosystem services • Predicted areas of rapid degradation • End-end continuity

  18. End-end continuity To knowledge and decision making From raw physical data To electronic data To data processing To information generation

  19. Implementation approach • Incremental • Opportunistic • Collaborative • Starting point: Topical Working Groups Doryphora pastica

  20. Topical working groups • Map concepts to activities • Find regional and thematic partners • Together, create an implementation plan Alurnus ornatus

  21. Topical working groups • Ecosystem change • Terrestrial • Marine • Freshwater • Species change • Terrestrial • Genetic change • Ecosystem services change • In-situ / remote sensing integration • Data integration and interoperability

  22. Implementation Topical Working groups Concepts Implementation Activities Concept Document Regional / thematic BONs and partners Concepts Regional and local implementation

  23. Thematic partners ILTER GBIF UNEP-WCMC Space agencies National wildlife / park agencies NGOs … Callopistus castelnaudi

  24. Possible regional partners EBONE Asia-Pacific BON JBON (research oriented) UK BON? Southern Africa BON? ? Alurnus bipunctatus

  25. Challenges • Making independently developed systems work together • Ensuring appropriate incentives for partners • Filling in observation gaps • Integrating in-situ and remote sensing obs • Funding and resources Homoderus mellyi

  26. Next steps • Further engage biodiversity community • Facilitate regional / thematic BONs • Develop implementation plans • Develop funding mechanisms Doryphora 21punctata

  27. Thoughts for an AP BON Coordinated observations Sampling framework Fill gaps Coordinated storage and distribution Interoperability of existing systems (more sharing) Coordinated tools Access to all component systems Support synthesis, visualization Key observation products Easy to understand Powerful Utilize multiple input sources Thank you

  28. Thank you Cenistra dohrni Near Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia Website: Google “GEO BON”

  29. Integration across scales In-situ observations RS observations Sparse…but finely detailed Global…but spatially coarse • Cannot extract the full value from data • Need to combine in-situ and RS data • Provide continuous and complete datasets

  30. Some possible steps Discuss AP BON structure Sub-regional BONs Governance Shared components Assess current state of component systems Consider setting up topical working groups Feed into GEO BON WGs Coordinate regional activities Participate in GEO BON WGs Assess GEO BON: What else does it need?

  31. Citizen Science “Traditional” methods alone not adequate Precedents Christmas Bird Count Breeding Bird Survey Feeder Watch New efforts are needed http://whatsbloomin.com

  32. Early products Product exemplars Populations & drivers of change Protected areas tools Ecosystems change maps Marine (Census of Marine Life) Primary obstacle is funding Page 32
