WP7 ”Applying Taxonomy to Conservation”


EDIT WP7 objectives

Strengthening the input of scientific taxonomic expertise in Europe for biodiversity conservation programs and management, especially for inventories, assessments, and monitoring of biodiversity;

Furthering development and promotion of standards, techniques and methodologies for cost efficient biodiversity assessments including a new approach for an

"All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory & Monitoring" (ATBI+M) program;

Establishing a European expert task force for undertaking and supporting biodiversity inventories, assessments, and monitoring activities


(EDIT) ATBI+M approach

EDIT WP7:

• establishes EDIT ATBI+M pilot sites for areas of conservation concern in and outside Europe in need/want of inventory data

• organizes and supports teams of taxonomic experts for field work to update/complete inventories and undertake monitoring at pilot sites

• tests and develops new standards, protocols, and tools for efficient field recording techniques (geo-referencing, field-based ID techniques, GUIDs for records & specimens, etc.)

• delivers primary occurrence data as digital records (compatible with current standard protocols) and host in openly accessible web-based information systems (GBIF: www.gbif.net) for current and future use


Role of EDIT (WP7)

EDIT takes on:

• negotiating and concluding agreements (MOU) with relevant authorities and local counterparts for operating individual ATBI+M pilot sites;

• networking taxonomists and researchers from EDIT partner institutions (and beyond) for participation in ATBI+M sites, including setting up agreements for individual participation (TOR);

• organizing and supporting field work (travel, accommodation) by individual EDIT participants at ATBI+M pilot sites, including support for data capture/recording and data management;

• organizing digital (primary occurrence) data delivery and integration from individual ATBI+M participants for local counterparts and conservation management, including hosting digital data in web-based information systems and linking to GBIF.
