2 EU Nodes – April 2011 – Paris www.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu The BioFresh project (2010-2014) Biodiversity of Freshwater Ecosystems: Status, Trends, Pressures, and Conservation Priorities EU FP7 project with 18 partner institutes http://www.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu/ © nasaimages.org Objective: Improve capacity to protect and manage freshwater biodiversity in the face of ongoing changes to global climate and socioeconomics, by –Building a Dedicated Freshwater Biodiversity Information Platform (BioFresh data portal and metadatabase) –Predicting responses to multiple stressors (modeling work) –Improving awareness on freshwater biodiversity conservation

3 EU Nodes – April 2011 – Paris www.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu BioFresh Information Platform Bring freshwater biodiversity data together in a network of interoperable databases Make these data publicly available through a data portal acting as a gateway to scientific data Tool for scientists, managers, policy makers to visualize data and models Geographic coverage: from catchment to global scale Data coverage: –Extensive coverage of occurrence data –Integration and links to all kinds of freshwater biodiversity related data including environmental parameters, species treads, genes,…

4 EU Nodes – April 2011 – Paris www.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu Current status – http://data.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu/http://data.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu/ First version on-line (launched 25 th of March) Integrates Freshwater Animal Diversity Assessment (FADA) and Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) data Basic species search and mapping capabilities 3 more years of development to go… for: –Improving functionality –Integrating data –Integrating models

7 EU Nodes – April 2011 – Paris www.freshwaterbiodiversity.eu BioFresh and GBIF GBIF is member of the stakeholder council for BioFresh BioFresh is using available GBIF-data in its portal BioFresh will mobilize freshwater biodiversity data and will provide occurrence data to GBIF (either through the national node of provider or through thematic node) –Datasets from both project partners as well as from external partners –Digitization work both by WorldFish and through external projects (funded through BioFresh) Being explored: possibility of BioFresh becoming a thematic node? In contact with GBIF secretariat
