  1. The EU BON (European Biodiversity Observation Network) approach for information integration ASEAN-EU STI Days Bangkok, Thailand - 21-23 January, 2014 Dr. Christoph L. Häuser &Anke Hoffmann, Johannes Penner, Katrin Vohland, Florian Wetzel Museum für Naturkunde - Leibniz Institute for Research on Evolution and Biodiversity Berlin, Germany

  2. Global challenges • The big issues: • Biodiversity , • Climate change, • Water & Food scarcity, • Poverty. Our Knowledge Societyis based on science and technology, i.e., the availability of sound & reliable scientific data, analysis and tools

  3. Biodiversity – challenges: • ongoing biodiversity loss – continued / increased extinction rates / habitat losses • missing baseline data – lack of basic knowlege • fragmentation of available information – problems accessing/using existing knowledge • targeted information delivery – limited impact of scientific data (& publications) on policy and individual behaviour

  4. The real threat: biodiversity loss

  5. The unknown biodiversity dimension: Living organisms (estimates): 3.5 - 100 mio species [1.9 mio known]e.g., 20 mio species (= 9% known today) viruses + bacteria: 1.4 mio (0.4% known) fungi: 1.5 mio(3% known) plants: 320,000 (78% known) protozoa: 400,000 (7% known) invertebrates (arthropods): 16 mio (6% known) vertebrates: 60,000 (83 % known)

  6. The biodiversity knowledge base– some shortcomings • Scientific biodiversity inventory ongoing since > 250 years (1753 / 1758) : • no global checklist yet available! • most countries without accurate / up-to-date national faunas / floras (inventories, checklists)! • no complete species inventory for any Protected Area in the World!! • majority of described organisms (species) are known from <10 specimens / records / publications!!! • Biodiversity crisis = information crisis !?!

  7. The Challenge: Integration of Biodiversity Information Terrestrial Marine Freshwater Twolarge realms: field + remote sensingdata

  8. NASA GC directory: http://gcmd.nasa.gov For „biosphere“ & „biol. classifications“>10.000 online data sources / systems listed in this registry !!

  9. EU BON - key information EC FP7 - Cooperation Theme 6 “Environment (incl. climate change)”. • Call ENV.2012.6.2-2: Assessing global biological resources: the European contribution to the Global Earth Observation Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) • Project start: 1st December, 2012 • Duration: 54 months(until May 2017) • Projektkoordination: MfN • Consortium: 30 partners (18 countries) • Budget: 11,6 mio Euro, <9 mio Euro EC contribution

  11. EU BON characteristics Key featureof EU BON: Delivery of integrated, near-real-time relevant data – both from on-ground observation and remote sensing – to the various stakeholders and end users ranging from local to global levels. The main objectiveof EU BON: Build a substantial part of the Group on Earth Observation’s Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON), also in light of the new Intergovernmental science-policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES).

  12. EU BON proposes two related networking levels: • (1) a science-based social network, comprising and connecting the communities of practice engaged in collecting, managing, analyzing, and utilizing biodiversity observations and data, and • (2) a technological network of interoperating IT infrastructures and systems that store and distribute information of all kinds held by multiple organisations and partners, and to provide a user-friendly platform for data analysis and interpretation. • For resource efficiency, the establishment of the EU (GEO) biodiversity information network (BON) will build on existing infrastructures and efforts to integrate recording and monitoring schemes and their data, across Europe, and internationally.

  13. GEOSS

  14. EU BON –Data Integration (WP2) • EU BON will be implementing the GEO BON vision: • automated, streamlined data flow, from observations to EBVs, • using a plug-and-play service-oriented approach, • coordinated through the GEO BON registry system • linked to the GEOSS Common Infrastructure, and transparent to users through portals

  15. EU BON – Plans for Biodiversity data portal (WP2) • User authenticationandauthorization • Upload data: datasets & related metadata, different formats (DwC, EML, ABCD). • Edit data and metadata (only allowed users). • Search biodiversity occurrence (returning data from any connected data provider) • Visualizedataandmetadata: • Grids, formsandmaps. • Charts, statisticsandreports. • Export anddownload: • Obtain statistics and EBV’s estimation from related data.
