Summary

In the use of biodiversity data is where the efforts of all the

people working to make the data available digitally bears

fruit.

In this module we will make a general review of the most

frequent scenarios of data use, with two objectives: to help

Node managers to promote them, but also to help them

build their own arguments, strategies and plans.

This presentation corresponds to

Module 4A of the GB20 Training

course for Nodes hold in October

2013 in Berlin, Germany.

Outline

1. General review of all use cases

2. Detailed review of nine key cases

3. Sources of information

To qualify as a hotspot, a region must meet two strict criteria: it must contain at least 1,500 species of vascular plants (> 0.5 percent of the world's total) as endemics, and it has to have lost at least 70 percent of its original habitat.

Example of costs due to the loss of biodiversity

The value of the activity of insects pollination was estimated at € 153 billion in 2005 => If the bees disappear, mankind will pollinate the plant itself => New costs (technology development, salaries workers, etc. ....) for a service for now "free” and yet vital (Ecological Economics, 2008).

The Tiger mosquito is known as an important vector for the transmission of many viral pathogens, including the West Nile virus, Yellow fever virus, St. Louis encephalitis, dengue fever…

The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment:http://www.unep.org/maweb/en/index.aspx

The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment assessed the consequences of ecosystem change for human well-being. From 2001 to 2005, the MA involved the work of more than 1,360 experts worldwide. Their findings provide a state-of-the-art scientific appraisal of the condition and trends in the world’s ecosystems and the services they provide, as well as the scientific basis for action to conserve and use them sustainably.

Ecosystems and some services they provide:
