  8. Budget

  9. Key Achievements • Requirements, stakeholder engagement • Data needs questionnaire • Regional workshops • RRIS development • Datasets • Digital Observatory of Protected Areas (DOPA) • RRIS Pilots • Reports and publications

  10. Biodiversity and Habitats Characterisation - Key Achievements • Modelling tools refined and operational • eHabitat, eSpecies • Re-computation of indicators for 10000 PA’s • From 3000 in Year 1 • Plant data completeness assessment methodology (JRC, GBIF, Uni Oxford) • 26th International Congress for Conservation Biology • Data sharing agreement JRC-IUCN-WCMC

  11. Ecosystem Services – Key Achievements • DOPA Carbon Tool. Change of the tool structure and function • Analysis of Ecosystem Services indicators for the West and Central Africa WG • Design and development of the Ecosystem Services Partnership visualisation tool • Mapping of Carbon sequestration in the Caribbean basin

  12. Terrestrial Ecosystems Monitoring- Key Achievements • Repopulation and restructuring of fire archive data • Delivery of eStation information products via web services

  13. Marine Ecosystems Monitoring

  14. PA Pressures and Threats - Key Achievements • Database of land cover changes in sub-Saharan Africa 1990-2000-(2005)-2010 • Fire tool for PA’s • Analysis of requirements for poaching tool

  15. PA Management & Governance - Key Achievements • Close consultation with METT & PAME groups • Queensland University, WCMC • First draft PA “Identity Card” • Scoping of pilot for Central African Region

  16. DOPA and RRIS – Key Achievements • DOPA Explorer first official beta release • http://ehabitat-wps.jrc.ec.europa.eu/dopa_explorer/ • Various thematic tools • Fire • Ecosystem Services • Baseline web services • http://dopa-services.jrc.ec.europa.eu/services/ • eHabitat, eSpecies, eStation • Island Biodiversity Information System • Focus on Invasive Alien Species for the Pacific Region • Data sharing agreement signed with IUCN-WCMC • Hadoop Cluster for analysis of large biodiversity datasets

  17. Hadoop – Big Data for BIOPAMA

  18. Communication

  19. Challenges Timing • Project has taken time to gather genuine momentum, recommend extension to 5 years Staffing • Emphasis on temporary staff for project execution, many contracts will expire over next 12 months • Switch from grantholder profile to contractual agents • Staff turnover and changes Geography • Time zones, different emphasis and context between regions • Getting visibility and recognition in Caribbean and Pacific RRIS Development • Interdependency with Regional Observatory definition • Requirements engineering and prioritisation • Customisation of the DOPA toolbox to specific BIOPAMA needs

  20. Next Steps and Action Plan • Second Annual Report • Internal Work Package Review • Request modifications of Administrative Arrangement • Regional Pilots • DOPA Explorer review • CBD Regional Workshop support • Technical Advisory Group outcomes and follow-up • Technical assistance to Regional Observatory definition • Targeted recruitment and expert engagement

  21. Developing capacity for a Protected Planetwww.iucn.org/biopamastephen.peedell@jrc.ec.europa.eu
