GBIFGlobal Biodiversity Information Facility

• What is GBIF?

• an intergovernmental initiative to share biodiversity information

• NOT a central database or an aggregator

• SCAR is an associate participant

• Share data and expertise

• Participate in community developments


PICPolar Information Commons


IPBESIntergovernmental Science-Policy

Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services

• “IPCC for biodiversity”

• SCAR should express its interest to get involved

• SCAR-MarBIN/ANTABIF can play an important role


Food for thought• its a time of rapid change, need for timely release

of data

• CAML’s virtual legacy

• flying across disciplines

• evolving as an ecosystem of communities

• save the whales? save the birds? SAVE THE DATA! [in as many contexts as possible]

• maintain or die (data, developments, standards...)

• momentum is on our side!Monday 2 August 2010
