Biodiversity Indicators Partnership

In addition to improving global-scale indicators, the BIP has been actively involved in supporting national and regional
initiatives; facilitating indicator development and implementation that responds to country-specific national biodiversity priorities. A programme of capacity building
workshops has been run across the globe, bringing together the various institutional representatives involved in national indicator development to share experiences and best-practice. Some 45 countries have been engaged to date.

In order to support the revised and updated Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020, including the Aichi Biodiversity Targets, the BIP has identified the following three key objectives:

An enlarged and enhanced partnership to facilitate experience sharing and indicator implementation in support of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020;
A significant expansion in national capacity-strengthening for the development and use of biodiversity and ecosystem service indicators as part of NBSAP updating and implementation; and Providing a communication hub website for developing and communicating compelling storylines from the combined suite of global indicators.
