''Auditing the ark - science based monitoring of
biodiversity'' Electronic Conference on 5th - 20th September
2002 Subscribe at: www.gencat.es/mediamb/bioplatform/subscribebpl.htm
Dear colleagues, The European Platform for Biodiversity
Research Strategy (EPBRS), the Danish Biodiversity Platform
and the BioPlatform Thematic Network invite you to participate
in the electronic conference: ''Auditing the ark - science
based monitoring of biodiversity'' which will run from 5th to
20th September 2002. Monitoring is an essential element of any
strategy for the conservation and sustainable use of
biodiversity. Although decisions to take actions to conserve
biodiversity rarely follow long-term monitoring of
biodiversity they are, at least, based on some assessment of
trends in biodiversity. However, potential threats to
biodiversity, particularly land use and climate change, mean
that decisions on actions to conserve biodiversity should
increasingly be based on monitoring. Once actions are taken,
monitoring is needed to measure the success, or otherwise, of
these actions, and, when relevant, to identify the need for
new or additional actions. But where is monitoring needed
most? How can monitoring be most efficiently done? How can
research help? The aims of the electronic conference are: To
identify the major reasons for monitoring biodiversity. To
discuss some existing and planned biodiversity monitoring
programmes, identifying their strengths and weaknesses. To
identify some developments in monitoring biodiversity and the
advantages they offer. To discuss the development of a core
programme of biodiversity monitoring across Europe; what are
the priorities for monitoring and what major gaps exist? To
identify where research should be focussed to develop
monitoring programmes that best meet the needs of users,
including the development of a core programme of biodiversity
monitoring across Europe? The electronic conference is
developed within the framework of the BioPlatform project (www.bioplatform.info),
a thematic network of scientists and policy-makers who aim at
improving the effectiveness and relevance of biodiversity
research in Europe. A sister electronic conference, focusing
on marine aspects of the issues identified above, will take
place in parallel with the BioPlatform one announced here.
This parallel conference is run by the thematic network called
MARBENA. Subscription information can be found http://www.vliz.be/marbena/.
The results of both Electronic Conferences will be presented
at the EPBRS delegates meeting in Silkeborg, Denmark 4-6th
October 2002. The BioPlatform electronic conference will be
chaired by Allan Watt, Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, UK.
