Description
The Europa Biodiversity Observation Network (EuropaBON) includes one of the largest and most influential biodiversity communities in Europe. The aim of this impressive network of stakeholders is to co-design a seamless European biodiversity and ecosystem monitoring system that integrates existing biodiversity data and fills remaining data gaps. Network members are included in each step of designing the system from identifying user and policy needs, assessing existing European monitoring schemes and identifying data gaps, to defining Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) to be monitored by the system, and demonstrating in a set of showcases how workflows tailored to various EU policies, can be implemented. We therefore developed the EuropaBON dashboard that allows users to map and interact with data and displays of Europe's biodiversity community, its key actors and their connections. It offers high-level information in one view that can be used to identify occupational sectors (e.g., academia, private industry), realm (e.g., marine, freshwater), or geographic regions (e.g., eastern Europe, southern Europe) with the most connections and pinpoint the central actors within the network.
