GEO Biodiversity Observation Network

GEO Biodiversity Observation Network

The Challenge

The planet is currently experiencing unprecedented biodiversity loss. To reverse this crisis, policymakers need accessible and reliable biodiversity data. Without a coordinated global biodiversity observation network, the lack of environmental observations and technologies to track biodiversity change will persist.

The Solution

GEO BON is a global network and community of practice that provides biodiversity knowledge to national and international organizations. GEO BON strengthens the collection, coordination, and delivery of biodiversity observations and related services to users such as policymakers and scientists.
