Potential for DNA Barcoding in BOZONET Mathias Behangana BOZONET Regional Coordinator ICIPE

Botanical and Zoological Taxonomic Networks in Eastern Africa: BOZONET - Introduction

“ Linking Conservation and Taxonomy ” BOZONET - Theme

BOZONET Focus Countries Ethiopia Kenya Uganda Tanzania

BOZONET Funding:GEF Regional Coordinating Institution  ICIPE – The Lead Agency mandated by UNDP to execute the Project National Coordinating Institutions Ethiopia – University of Addis Ababa (UAA) Kenya – University of Nairobi (UoN) Tanzania – University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) Uganda – Makerere University (Mak)

BOZONET-CBOL RATIONALE The Global Taxonomy Initiative (GTI) in the Darwin Declaration identified the Taxonomy Impediment, as the core of the conservation/taxonomy problem. The impediment is defined as: “ The gaps in knowledge of taxonomic systems, and the reduced impact by not using such knowledge in the management and sustainable use of biodiversity ”.

BOZONET-CBOL KEY INNOVATION BOZONET ’ s key innovation is in building the Bridges between taxonomists and the end Users (field conservationists, tourism, potential bioprospectors, local communities, etc) who need taxonomic information, and cementing this linkage through joint biodiversity oriented fieldwork and networking.

BOZONET-CBOL Expected Outcomes 1.Taxonomic tools and capacity 2.Such taxonomic tools and information used to improve the conservation of biodiversity and its sustainable use in the field.

BOZONET-CBOL Expected National Benefits 1.BOZONET will generate taxonomic information that will assist decision-making on achieving the objectives of meeting country obligations The CBD Global Taxonomy Initiative (GTI). Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) – 11 out of 16 targets.

BOZONET-CBOL 2. Economic and environmental importance of taxonomy Food security – agrobiodiversity, food security, biocontrol (reducing insecticide use, DDT!!!). Bioprospecting (Medicinals and aromatics) and biopiracy (Microorganisms). Invasive species Ecotourism EIAs Hotspots and Key Biodiversity Area inventories

CBOL - BOZONET The potential of the emerging tools for user-friendly identification Molecular tools (CBOL) IT tools (GIS, Cellular etc). Reducing dependency
