  1. Information Systems for BioPAMA Andrew Cottam Joint Research Centre, Ispra, Italy BioPAMA Caribbean Regional Workshop Bridgetown, Barbados 22-24 January 2013

  2. Information Systems for BioPAMAOverview • BioPAMA is all about information and systems • Systems will be deployed in the regions and at JRC • Early stage of development • Workshop purposes: • Capture information requirements for Caribbean region • Define capacity building needs • Draft an action plan

  3. Information Systems for BioPAMAInformation flow

  4. Information Systems for BioPAMAInformation flow • Collating existing data • Commissioning new surveys or fieldwork

  5. Information Systems for BioPAMAInformation flow • Database management and administration • Cataloguing

  6. Information Systems for BioPAMAInformation flow • Create value-added products and services from the datasets

  7. Information Systems for BioPAMAInformation flow • Providing access to BioPAMA products and services

  8. Information Systems for BioPAMAInformation flow • Use of products and services for conservation gain • Most important part! • Integration of products and services into tools • Use/requirements drive what information is collected and produced

  9. Information Systems for BioPAMAInformation flow Define

  10. Information Systems for BioPAMAAnalyse • Output DOPA products and services • Data • Indicators • Maps • Models • Services

  11. Information Systems for BioPAMAAnalyse – Example products from eSpecies • Species richness • Species/land cover analyses • Species protection coverage • Gap analysis • Species Irreplacibility Index • Protected Area Ecotourism Potential Index • Research focused (e.g. global species richness by latitude)

  12. Information Systems for BioPAMASpecies richness at 1Km2 - All Red List Species

  13. Information Systems for BioPAMASpecies richness at 1Km2- Mammals

  14. Information Systems for BioPAMASpecies richness at 1Km2 - Birds

  15. Information Systems for BioPAMASpecies richness at 1Km2 - Amphibians

  16. Information Systems for BioPAMASpecies richness at 1Km2 - Primates

  17. Information Systems for BioPAMASpecies richness by latitude

  18. Information Systems for BioPAMASpecies richness by latitude

  19. Information Systems for BioPAMASpecies land cover analyses

  20. Information Systems for BioPAMASpecies land cover analyses

  21. Information Systems for BioPAMASpecies protection gap analysis

  22. Information Systems for BioPAMASpecies protection gap analysis Eleutherodactylus sp.

  23. Information Systems for BioPAMAPA Ranking - Species irreplacibility indices

  24. Information Systems for BioPAMAPA Ranking - Protected Areas Ecotourism Potential Index 49 million images 2.84 million images 705 million images Protected areas /Species data … … Species Charisma Index

  25. Information Systems for BioPAMAAnalysis - Issues • Data quality • Information gaps • Taxonomic group coverage • Lack of trend data • PA IUCN Management Category • Sustainability • Automated update mechanism when data changes • Informatics challenge of ‘big data’ and scaling geographically • Technology choice – standards-based, open-source, interoperable

  26. Information Systems for BioPAMASharing • Data search and discovery • Data catalogues and metadata • Provides access to: • Data • Models • Services, e.g. alerts • Many options to deliver access and sharing: • Web, SMS, email, EUMETCast, data sharing portals etc.

  27. Information Systems for BioPAMASharing – Access and delivery • DOPA has published the REST Services Catalog • Open access to main DOPA products and services via URLs • Web delivery, SMS, email etc. • Spatial data sharing • Within the region/partners – contribute and access • ArcGIS.com map sharing (cloud) • Harvard Worldmap

  28. Information Systems for BioPAMASharing – Issues • Licensing • Sensitivity and access control • Offline delivery • Data standards • Harmonisation/generalisation

  29. Information Systems for BioPAMAUse • Integration of products and services into tools (e.g. user interfaces and visualisations) • Web Services • Modular architecture – ‘lego’ building blocks • Data managed at source (so always current) • Flexible reuse of information • Foster a developer community • Decision support tools: • Tools in your browser • Desktop tools • Smart phone apps • Physical reports

  30. Information Systems for BioPAMAUse - sources • Example products: • Species richness maps • Land cover change data • Threat information

  31. Information Systems for BioPAMAUse - sources • Example products: • PA management plans • National land cover data • Local monitoring data

  32. Information Systems for BioPAMAUse - sources • Example products: • GBIF species occurrences • PA information from UNEP-WCMC

  33. Information Systems for BioPAMAUse – Tools in your browser • Species lists for a protected area • Species richness visualisation tool • WebGL Globe • Mash up of services • DOPA Explorer • DOPA Ecological Niche Modelling

  34. Information Systems for BioPAMAUse – Other tools • Excel species list for a protected area • Desktop GIS (e.g. ArcGIS) • Conservation planning tools (e.g. Marxan)

  35. Information Systems for BioPAMAWorkshop – capturing requirements and planning • Informatics requirements • Requirements for national reporting (to CBD) • Requirements for PA management, e.g. ‘How is my MPA doing?’ • Other requirements • What is the prioritisation process? • Capacity building needs • Planning • Some pieces of the jigsaw are in development (e.g. DOPA) • Lot needs to be defined and implemented, e.g. Regional RIS • Iterative pilots are needed to focus on a few key requirements

  36. Information Systems for BioPAMAWorkshop – Capacity Building needs • Regional Reference Information Systems may need: • Ecologists • Database administrators and custodians • Information scientists • Developers • Physical things, e.g. offices and computers
