[Nhcoll-l] SPNHC Biodiversity Crisis Response Committee resources page

[Dirk Neumann]

Dear Andy,

it would be worth keeping a close eye on the development of the post-202 
Global Biodiversity Framework and included indicators and monitoring 
elements.

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.

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:

our response to this can be found here:

With best wishes
Dirk
