Better Information for Protected Areas 1. The Protected Areas Component Result 1 – Improving the effective planning and management of PAs by using the best available scientific and policy information (JRC) Result 2 – Establishing a “Centre for PAs & Biodiversity” (Observatory) in each region and developing capacity building programmes (IUCN) 2. The Access and Benefit Sharing (ABS) component (ABS Initiative)
3
What the BIOPAMA Project is Building Reference Information System – Ecological Assessments and Data Collection – Socio-economic Assessments and Data Collection – Management & Governance Assessments and Data Collection Regional Observatories Capacity Building Programme
4
BIOPAMA Information Categories Ecosystem Services Terrestrial Ecosystems Monitoring Species and Habitats Pressures and Threats Marine Ecosystems Monitoring Management & Governance Digital Observatory of Protected Areas BIOPAMA RRIS RRIS Deployment
5
Reference Information System Information exchange Built on standards Regional focus Analytical tools provided by the Digital Observatory of Protected Areas, DOPA Central node run by JRC, regional nodes run by the Observatories
6
Where we are today Basic information exchange platform (RIS) – Now being developed further according to regional priorities Digital Observatory of Protected Areas (DOPA) – Scientific and analytical tools, global biodiversity and protected area information Specific tools – Fire, land cover change, alien invasive species, ecosystem services – Step-by-step integration in the RIS Third party data and tools

GMIS dataset: on-line (WMS) and Download Services For each selected variable, it is possible to download the dataset related to the variable in NetCDF format, a geoTIFF image of the displayed bounds, a PDF document, or to access the WMS service corresponding to the variable eMarine tool combine the JRC dataset – GMIS- with the WDPA database to provide information to MPA managers - http://gmis.jrc.ec.europa.eu/
11
RRIS ingredients for success…. Common ownership Relevance to users Technical robustness Simplicity of use A culture of information sharing Authoritative input from partners Strong and clear regional inputs Regional flavour and priorities Simple to maintain and grow
12
Next Steps Put all tools under one RRIS banner Work with Observatory partners to create and share data, and build new functions Set-up hardware and software for the Observatories – technical visits Showcase at CBD CoP, World Parks Congress Develop regional networks Content, content, content
