Highlights
“By 2020, knowledge, the science base and technologies relating to biodiversity, its values, functioning, status and trends, and the consequences of its loss, are improved, widely shared and transferred, and applied.”
EU BON’s efforts have contributed towards transforming these data into policy-relevant information. This infographic (Fig. 1) illustrates how biodiversity data flow from collection and collation to policy reporting, in order to track progress towards achieving Aichi Biodiversity Target 19 of the UN Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020. This Plan, along with its twenty so-called Aichi Biodiversity Targets, provide a short-term framework for countries to measure the impact of their actions aimed at halting global biodiversity loss
