Challenges ahead • Increase the amount and quality of biodiv. data in mountains • Digitisation and mobilisation, metadata, inaccuracy estimates • Improve mountain portal • Feedback on data quality • Polygons of each mountain region • Overlay with UNEP-WCMC protected areas & other databases • Global assessment of GBIF data in mountains • -> contribute to CBD Mountain programme, IPBES • Global network of alpine LTER sites
