  1. Biodiversity of Freshwater Ecosystems: Status, Trends, Pressures, and Conservation Priorities FP7 Collaborative Project, large-scale integrating project BioFresh

  2. BioFresh general objectives Improve capacity to protect and manage freshwater biodiversity in the face of ongoing changes to global climate and socioeconomics, by: • Building a dedicated freshwater biodiversity Information Platform • Integrate tools and models to predict the responses of multiple stressors over scales: • Enable analysis of status and trends of biodiversity and ecosystem services • Integrate spatially-explicit models to quantify pressuresand their impact • Identify key hotspots and their vulnerabilities • Increase awareness amongst scientists, policy makers and the public, and thereby improve conservation strategies and support the work of the EU and of international environmental agreements Infrastructure and biodiversity research interacting D4Science World User Meeting 25-26 Nov FAO Rome

  3. BioFresh implementation EU-Collaborative Project - Large scale integrating project Duration: 4.5 years (start: 1 Nov. 2009) EU contribution: 6.5 M € Coordinator: KlementTockner (IGB, Germany) Partners: 19 Institutes and organisations (incl. WorldFish, IUCN, DG JRC – EC) Endorsed: FreshwaterBiodiversity (DIVERSITAS) Stakeholders: GWSP, GBIF, WWF, TNC, PESI, FAO, Wetlands International, LifeWatch D4Science World User Meeting 25-26 Nov FAO Rome

  4. Structure D4Science World User Meeting 25-26 Nov FAO Rome

  5. Challenges and Prospects • Open access, open source, open standards • Integrating, operationalizing diverse, distributed resources (data and tools) • Avoid duplication – build synergies • Retain focus – penetrate into the data sphere • Mainstream data publishing • Sustainability: archiving, maintaining the portal and network D4Science World User Meeting 25-26 Nov FAO Rome
