    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">it would be worth keeping a close eye

    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">Ideally, the data our collections can
      contribute would receive more attention, as we deliver the
      baselines for many monitoring elements, while currently only big
      data aggregators such as GBIF are recognised as being relevant for
      the monitoring of biodiversity loss.</div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
    </div>
    <div class="moz-cite-prefix">It is also obvious, however, that the
      data we provide increase our visibility also outside our own peer
      group and that may be pose a challenge for institutions, as the
      reference to herbarum specimens in Kew and Paris show in this
      study that discusses potential retroactive benefit sharing claims:
