 Development of concrete work plan of working groups and entire APBON Terrestrial
Master site concept (collecting candidates) – try to link with LTER, MAB, …
 FreshwaterSpecimen 3D models
 Marine
Make progress in AP-MBON; dedicated JSPS project; JST eDNA project; data management; UN Decade of OceanScience; contribution to MBON Land-ocean connectivity; Mekong could be an option in the future; landscape approach; Sato-umi approach; Ecosystem; biological inventories across the region; ‘green-listing methodology’• Organize a talk on OECM in the future webinars of 2021. This is important to sensitize APBON members and contributes to Aichi Target 11, as
well as Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.
• Explore funding resources, cooperation and collaborations for OCEM in the Asia Pacific.
 APBON’s contribution to GEO BON, KBA, IPBES and other organizations• GEO BON
Hiroyuki will communicate for further discussion on interaction• KBA

• IPBES
Yamakita’s information - new scenario, future projection• OthersCollect data/knowledge/information of APBON
to connect with global community

 Participation to 13th AOGEO symposium (March 3 - 5, 2021)• APBON co-chairs will prepare for Task group reporting.
• Inputs are welcome as mentioned previously by Hiroyuki.
• Your participation to the AOGEO Symposium is encouraged

Aichi Target 11,
Capacity building and knowledge for Post 2020
global biodiversity framework

 New APBON book

 Others…

 Promoting interdisciplinary
research and problem-solving
approaches with filling theobservational and knowledge
gaps, Promoting data sharing anddata accessibility through/by
networks of the observation
networks,
 Delivering our information andknowledge to stakeholders
and global platforms

Objectives of the Workshop
The 13th APBON Workshop will be organized by interactive discussions bybringing ideas from participants for generating plans of integrative
collaborations with the clear objectives below.

A) Scoping collaborative work plan of APBON in the next ca. 4 years (~2025),
which is the first half of APBON’s strategic plan toward 2030.
B) Preparing inputs/deliverables to the 14th AOGEO Symposium (10-12November 2021) for discussing biodiversity-related issues and for scoping
2023-2025 AOGEO Implementation Plan document, and a shortpresentation at the GEO Week 2021 side event (AOGEO highlights, tbc).

Focus of the Workshop sessions
1. Identifying Integrated knowledge and research/synthesis design (cf.,baseline data for detecting change; socio-ecological boundaries;
conservation guideline; joint climate-biodiversity targets; ecosystemservice analysis; respond to Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework)
2. Analyzing data availability and accessibility, and exploring data sharing(through networking)
3. Collaboration with partners (e.g., Key Biodiversity Areas, AOGEO)
4. Engagement with stakeholders (→ contribution of APBON to society:e.g., contribution to National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans(CBD), IPBES assessments, etc.)
