A sub-regional approach to capacity building in taxonomy for sustainable development Dr Richard Smith Assistant Director Dr Nicholas King Director

Taxonomic impediment Taxonomic Expertise and Information: not where it is needed 95% of existing taxonomic expertise resides in “developed” countries 95% of taxonomic information and collections reside in “developed” countries 95% of remaining biodiversity resides in developing countries! Regional imbalances expertise is rapidly ‘greying’ and not being replaced

BioNET-INTERNATIONAL basics A not-for-profit, donor-funded, global programme founded in 1993… …to help build the taxonomic capacity needed by “developing countries” for sustainable development; Assists with GTI via sub-regional Technical Cooperation Networks for Taxonomy 10 inter-institutional subregional networks supported by a Technical Secretariat NOT an Internet-based information network! NOT a database! NOT a donor agency!

A Global Network for Taxonomy

Status in Americas and Caribbean CARINET: established (Regional Coordinator: Ronald Barrow, Trinidad and Tobago) AndinoNET: established (Regional Coordinator: José Clavijo, Venezuela) MesoAmeriNET: founding workshop to be hosted by Government of Guatemala (Interim Coordinator: Alvaro Herrero, INBio) Southern Cone (LATINET): preparing for establishment in 2004 (Interim Coordinator: Mercedes Lizarralde de Grosso, Sociedad Entomologica Argentina) NAMERINET: NSCA interested

What is a BioNET- INTERNATIONAL LOOP? L ocally O wned and O perated P artnership = Technical Cooperation Network permanent structure, owned and operated by member institutions and governments

Objectives of a BioNET- INTERNATIONAL LOOP DEMAND DRIVEN: national and regional development and biodiversity priorities help regions become self-reliant in taxonomy facilitate, coordinate and promote taxonomic capacity building help users of taxonomy to develop taxonomic services and products using regional expertise

LOOP Work Programmes Collections: biological and literature Information systems (deliver capacity regionally) Training: taxonomy and technical support Development and dissemination of technology Sustainability of network

BioNET – complementary to IABIN, GBIF etc. A global network of people with years of networking experience Credible, tested, demand-driven mechanisms for Technical Cooperation S-S and S-N Links via coordinators and Secretariat to relevant initiatives and institutions world-wide Institutional coordination (training, projects, etc.) to prevent duplication Government commitment to a permanent TCN Focused on developing and using taxonomic information and expertise -> checklists, identification aids (keys), identification services, etc. NOT a biodiversity database

LOOPs - facilitating partnerships
