  3. The ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity Facilitates cooperation and coordination among the members of the ASEAN, and With relevant national governments, regional and international organizations, on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity and the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the use of such biodiversity in the ASEAN region Thematic interests (ABS, TEEB, AHPs, GTI, IAS, PES, B&B, CC, Green, Blue Economy, etc.)

  4. The ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity Intergovernmental Organization Major Concerns ASEAN Member States’ Compliance to MEAs Programme Development and Implementation Biodiversity Information Management Has Partnership Agreements with CBD, GBIF, IUCN, BIRDLIFE, PEMSEA, KfW, GIZ Implements projects with ASEAN, ASEAN + 3 (China, Japan, RoKorea), India

  8. Knowledge Sharing Approach Infrastructure Knowledge Products Partnerships

  9. Interoperability and data integration

  10. Promote standard practices • Adopt a globally compatible database architecture • in National CHMs • For species and protected areas • Share info by using readily available online and offline databases • Georeference information • Use information for “good” things only to earn the trust of collaborators • Organize into a community of collaborators to derive agreements (data contribution, use access, updating, populating, KM products, etc)

  11. Promote standard practices • Adopt a globally compatible database architecture • in National CHMs • For species and protected areas • Share info by using readily available online and offline databases • Georeference information • Use information for “good” things only to earn the trust of collaborators • Organize into a community of collaborators to derive agreements (data contribution, use access, updating, populating, KM products, etc)

  12. Darwin Core • Standard format derived from previous standards (e.g., Dublin Core, etc.) • Contains concepts (‘fields’, elements’ or ‘attributes’) that can be used to describe the most common information about a specimen. • Contains the following species information: • Taxonomic classification, • Specimen identification, • Locality details, • Collecting event information (who, why, where, when,how), • Biological data about the specimen & reference images More information on Darwin Core can be viewed at http://rs.tdwg.org/dwc/

  13. Standard Outputs - Species • Species Name • Description • Distribution • Photos where available • Common names • Red List Status • Other information

  14. Protected Areas Database

  15. Results of compatible Infrastructure • Interoperable data • Easy to understand / implement • More data becomes available, increase in willingness to contribute • Ease of manipulation • Summaries • Caters to stakeholders’ / AMS’ info needs

  16. ACBPublications • CHM • ACBViDEOs • MAPS • SPECIES summaries • PA • Database • IASDatabase • E-Library • ACBViDEOs Knowledge Products

  17. Clearing House Mechanisms

  18. ASEAN Species species Invasive Species in the ASEAN Region Potentially invasive species from the ASEAN Region Aquatic Invertebrates under threat Regional RedList Threatened Plants of Southeast Asia

  19. Links to CHMs of AMS • Biodiversity in the ASEAN Region • Priority Areas for Conservation • Biodiversity Conservation Initiatives • Improving Capacities for Biodiversity Conservation • Who’s Who in ASEAN Biodiversity • Biodiversity Resources Glossary of Terms • ASEAN Biodiversity Outlook - Ecosystems, Drivers, Regional Analyses • GBIF Integrated Publishing ToolKit (IPT ver. 2.4) • Online tools and web services ASEAN CHM Thematic Contents

  20. ACB Publications

  21. Video on Endangered Species Knowledge Products

  22. Marine Video Knowledge Products

  23. So what’s in it for us? • Update biodiversity reports (NBSAP, etc) • Determine KBAs and inform policy on  location of PAs • Enable accurate analysis of ecosystem state, threats • Contribute to prep of • PA management plans • Species conservation measures

  24. What can be achieved? • Science-based decision making • Better informed policies, enforcement strategies, management plans • Improved governance • Streamlined use of funds Best Practices Enforcement Management Species Conservation PAs Sound Governance

  25. Knowledge Products • Caters to information needs of target audiences • Clear articulation of messages • Easy to understand and relate • Sticks to memory • Easy to share • Optimizes use of multimedia • Available in popular formats

  26. Partnerships • Nurture a data sharing environment • Complementation of data • Caters to a larger audience / geography

  27. ASEAN China DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS • ASEAN-China Environmental Protection Cooperation Strategy 2009-2015, Major implementing institution: ASEAN-China Environmental Cooperation Center (CAEC) • to assist and provide support to AMS and China on the coordination and implementation of environmental cooperation policies, programs, projects and activities between China and ASEAN on matters related to biodiversity and ecological conservation.

  28. DEVELOPMENT ASEAN Japan PARTNERS • Collaboration among the AMS and the East and Southeast Asia Biodiversity Information Initiative (ESABII – Japan). • Global Taxonomic Initiative (GTI) Regional Action Plan, to identify collaborative activities • Enhance capacities in taxonomic knowledge for strengthening scientific basis in decision making • Asia – Pacific Biodiversity Observation Network

  29. DEVELOPMENT ASEAN Korea PARTNERS • AKECOP - ASEAN-Korea Environmental Cooperation Project • Experience sharing on the restoration of degraded forest ecosystems and sustainable forest management • Conservation Campus at the World Conservation Congress • Proposal preparation

  30. DEVELOPMENT ASEAN India PARTNERS • Developing and implementing a national ABS Legal Framework in preparation to accede to and ratify the Nagoya Protocol • Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL) to preserve, document and protect traditional knowledge and prevent misappropriation of biodiversity and associated TK • Increase the capacity of AMS in terms of increasing awareness and better understanding of intellectual property rights in relation to biodiversity, including ABS • Share experiences in community ABS practices

  31. Partnership Prospects in the ASEAN Region ASEAN Biodiversity Outlook 2015 RED LIST OF ECOSYSTEMS IN THE ASEAN REGION

  32. Marine Animals Conservation Priorities • Coelenterates: http://chm.aseanbiodiversity.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=329 • Crustaceans:http://chm.aseanbiodiversity.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=330 • Mulluscs:http://chm.aseanbiodiversity.org/index.php?option=com_wrapper&view=wrapper&Itemid=331 Protecting those that lie beneath: conserving corals, crustaceans and molluscs in the ASEAN Region

  33. Partnership Prospects in the ASEAN Network of Marine Protected Areas in the ASEAN

  34. Terminology - Common meaning / interpretation of words, level off our understanding on commonly used terminologiesand acronyms Comparable Methods Information integrity – data, maps Duplication of research Availability of information for trending across sites, through time Adequate data volume y Data / Information Harmonization Challenges

  35. Willingness to contribute / share Type of information contributed Frequency of data contributions Sustainable sources of funds IT capacity Personnel Equipment Limitations

  36. On Interpretation and data repatriation – convene experts to engage in: Collaborative development of knowledge product ideas Target conservation management effectiveness Periodic preparation of national and regional status of ASEAN ecosystems Easy to read and understand outputs for policy makers and protected area and park rangers Recommended Mechanisms

  37. Accessible information through the regional CHM / BISS databases Functional repository of ASEAN species, ecosystems and protected area information, Regular regional summaries / analysis of information, biodiversity trends and other knowledge products A community of active data contributors Ready reference for the state of ASEAN biodiversity reports Prospective Outputs

  38. Encourage continuous data contribution and analysis Resolve data compatibility issues Repatriate analyzed and integrated information for national use - in policy development, communicating biodiversity conservation, strategic prioritization and establishment of protected areas. Next Steps

  39. Institutional arrangements for data collection, exchange and management: Assign a national focal point with clear roles and responsibilities on data collection and management Organize information sharing guidelines and partnerships Store information at ACB Recommended Mechanisms
