This collaborative initiative emphasizes international and continental cooperation for biodiversity and ecosystem monitoring across Africa. By integrating efforts from organizations like UNEP, CBD, and GTOS, we aim to establish a robust framework for joint data management, method standardization, and capacity development. Through initiatives such as the BIOTA Africa Joint Data Center and monitoring across diverse biomes, we strive to facilitate sustainable land use transformations and enhance resilience in ecosystems from the Mediterranean to the Karoo.
