[Nhcoll-l] Biodiversity Crisis - We need your input

[Dirk Neumann]

Dear all,

this call is of utmost importance and I can only urge all to participate 
in this survey. All should be aware that:

- the 2020 Biodiversity targets largely failed, this year the post-2020 
Biodiversity targets will be negotiated, including the 2030/2050 
Sustainable Development Goals
- the post-2020 discussion puts huge pressure on the discussion to 
include Digital Sequence Information (DSI) under the Nagoya Protocol to 
deliver the monetary benefits some Developing countries anticipated 
under 2020 BioDiv-Targets & the NP to materialise.
-  non-monetary benefits (as provided by us) are categorised as 
"nice-to-have", but not really relevant

There are two main reasons for this:
1. The contracting Parties (both, NP-Parties and parties of the 
Biodiversity 2020 Framework) failed to measure "results" and 
"contributions". Government representatives confirmed this three weeks 
ago in an official meeting (don't want to give further details here). As 
a results, especially the contributions of Biodiversity Research 
remained invisible during the last 10 years (besides accelerated 
research & increased contributions, e.g. through large scale barcoding 
projects worldwide)

2. We could have visualised our contributions (and raised our profile), 
but failed to do so, because we were unaware of the political dimensions 
our research has on the international political level.

The figures and results of this questionnaire are highly relevant - to 
inform the current political debate, and for us to raise our profile. So 
please participate and contribute broadly.

With best wishes
Dirk
