| Abstract: | Without understanding something it is impossible to effectively manage it. In terms of biodiversity and environmental conservation, data and information on species or habitat extent or range, populations, trends over time, and the pressures and threats to these are essential to such understanding and management. Decision makers are wholly reliant on accessing or being presented with this data and information, and using their knowledge and experience to make reasoned, rational, and objective choices.
Whilst various gaps remain, great quantities of data and information are available, covering many facets of life and our environment. Yet many challenges and barriers exist that prevent the effective flow of this data from those that collect and manage it, to those that need to call upon it to inform decision-making processes. These can be as simple as a lack of communication or understanding of where to find or submit the data, to format issues whereby the necessary infrastructure isn’t in place or suitable to support the system, or more complex issues including data gaps, or scepticism in the data itself, leading to its lack of use.
The importance of data is recognised in various global conventions and European processes (e.g. Convention on Biological Diversity’s Aichi Biodiversity Targets, and the EU Biodiversity Strategy), acknowledging its role in developing our understanding of, and ability to monitor, manage, and ultimately halt, biodiversity loss.
Despite the multitude of data and information that exist, and the political and legislative measures in place, biodiversity continues to be threatened and is in various stages of decline. Many conservation and sustainability targets and goals are not on track to be achieved. The inefficient flow of data to inform decision-making processes contributes to this situation, by creating uncertainty about situations on the ground and the ability to track progress.
The Interreg Europe project ‘From biodiversity data to decisions: enhancing natural value through improved regional development policies’ – BID-REX – aims to bridge the gap between biodiversity data and decision-making, linking the two to create improved regional development policies for the preservation of nature.
By demonstrating how the use of available, evidence-based biodiversity data can guide, benefit, and improve decision-making processes, BID-REX also seeks to promote budget prioritisation for conservation efforts in funding allocations.
