Working Group 2 - Deliverables Henrique M. Pereira, Neil Brummitt, Mario Gonzalez, Richard Gregory, Melodie McGeoch, Michael Opige, Cui Peng, Jon Paul Rodriguez, Dirk Schmeller, Severin Tchibozo, Chris van Swaay, Elaine Wright

Deliverables: Monitoring Programs • Species population trends – Increase the number of national to regional species monitoring programs or the harmonization of existing programs (Birds, Butterflies, Plants, Other taxa) • Species ranges – Increase the number of initiatives (e.g. citizen science) recording species occurrences

Deliverables: Datasets • Species population trends – Abundances for a representative set of species • Species ranges – Presence surveys for a representative set of species (combining GBIF datasets with other datasets) – The World ’ s Worst: Priority invasive species across environments, taxa and regions • Species traits – Index available databases • Species interactions – Index available databases

Deliverables: Reports and handbooks • Species population trends, ranges, traits and interactions – Blueprint for a global monitoring scheme based on existing LTER sites – Report on regions with underrepresented monitoring – Handbook of field-assessing techniques and procedures on EBVs to be used in capacity-building workshops in rural communities of high diversity developing countries – Listing and Monitoring Priority Invaders: Handbook for Countries, Data Providers and Managers

Integrated product • Restoring 15% of degraded ecosystems – Identifying areas of degraded ecosystems • Species abundance and functional traits + pressure data + modelling • Ecosystem extent and function / remote sensing • Ecosystem services – Choosing candidates for restoration • Irreplaceability • Scenarios • Protected areas – Monitoring restoration • Implement observation network for EBVs on restoration sites • Harmonize observation data • Serve the data

Challenges • GEO BON branding to on-going initiatives • Institutional arrangement and governance – Links to national and regional programs • Funding !!!!
