2. Networking of networks
3. Outreach activities and Actions for biodiversity

Vision & Mission from Yahara et al. 2014
Vision1. To establish a coordinated Asia-Paciﬁc network that gathers and sharesinformation on biodiversity and ecosystem services,
2. To provide tools for data collection, sharing/exchange, analysis, andsynthesis/integration, and3. To contribute to improving ecosystem management, sustainable use ofbiodiversity, and human well-being.
APBON missions
1. Observing and analyzing changes in biodiversity over time.
2. Improving delivery of biodiversity information and services to users,
particularly decision makers
3. Facilitating linkages among many countries, organizations, andindividuals contributing to biodiversity observations.
4. Identifying gaps between existing biodiversity observation systems andpromoting mechanisms/projects to ﬁll them

Vision & Mission in New work plan
The Earth observation – increasing thesocietal demand
APBON will strive to supply the scientificevidence to develop sound assessments Society
and facilitate policy-making.
Promoting interdisciplinary research andproblem-solving approaches with fillingthe knowledge gaps (link to society; )Strengthening networking of biodiversity
observation networks, collaboration withother TGs.
Promoting the data accessibility, deliver
our information and knowledge to global
platforms such as CBD and IPBESPolicyBiosphere

1. Biodiversity research and monitoring
2. Networking of networks
3. Outreach activities, Capacity building andActions for biodiversity

will be discussed among WGs

1. Biodiversity research and monitoring
1) Monitoring status and changes of biodiversity
Keep in-situ monitoring biodiversity with considering scalability and reporting status coupling withdirect divers (land use change, climate change, pollution, invasive species) with related indirect drivers
For raising funding: overviewing researches, brainstorming, promoting collaborations over AP region
2) Filling gaps in data availability
Identifying the data gaps, thematic and geographical gaps of observations and their gap areas andcauses, of the gaps
Attempt to fulfill the biodiversity research/ monitoring activities through inviting focal people in thosecounties to WS and/or capacity building activities.
3) Increasing access to data
Strengthening the partnership with the global biodiversity data base such as GBIF and ABCDNet
Promoting publishing data papers in scientific journals
Promoting visualization of observation information using policy-relevant indicators, visualization
4) Improving knowledge on cutting-edge technologies
Promoting cutting-edge technologies to increase the knowledge as well as reduce the cost of both labor and money5) How can we contribute to AO-GEO pilot studies 1) Mekong 2) Pacific islands 3) Himalaya
6) How can we raise funds for AP-BON activities?

2. Networking of networks
1) Networking with observation sites and networks
How we keep partnership with the networks (summarized in thepast achievements), and expand the network.

2) Networking with global platform, policy-relevant
communities
Invite local stakeholders who are related to biodiversity-related
policy to the APBON workshop
Data sharing
Strengthen link with CBD, IPBES, AOGEO and input AP region issue
into global platforms

3. Outreach activities, Capacity building,
Actions for biodiversity
1. Outreach activities & social communicationPromoting the awareness and understanding of biodiversity and ecosystems
and planning actionable plan for sound decision making for theenvironmental issues related to biodiversity including sustainable use ofresources (water, carbon, etc.).
Developing the indicators the visualization tools
Promoting promote transdisciplinary research projects by inviting
stakeholders

2. Capacity building
Making an opportunity to learn skills and knowledge of biodiversity researchin WS.
Strengthening the partnership with ESABII etc.
