LARGEST-EVER BIODIVERSITY INFORMATION MEETING TO DEVELOP BLUEPRINT FOR TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC EXCHANGE
More than eighty stakeholders and biodiversity information experts from the Americas will attend the joint meeting of the Inter-American Biodiversity Information Network (IABIN) and the Clearing-House Mechanism (CHM) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in Cancun, Mexico, August 12-14, 2003.
Recognizing that scientific knowledge and technological know-how have a vital role to play in the conservation of biological diversity, participants will prepare the blueprint for exchange throughout the hemisphere of biodiversity technical and scientific information through the Clearing-House Mechanism of the Convention and the Inter-American Biodiversity Information Network.
This meeting constitutes the Third IABIN Council Meeting and the CHM Regional Meeting for the Group of Latin America and the Caribbean (GRULAC). Said to be the largest biodiversity informatics conference in history, it brings together a wide range of key stakeholders in the area of biodiversity information in the Americas. In addition to the officially-designated national Focal Points for the CHM and IABIN from 34 countries, participants include: the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) Node Managers from the GBIF member countries in the Americas; representatives from NatureServe’s Conservation Data Centers; representatives of international and national NGOs; academic institutions; state, local, governments and indigenous organizations; and the private sector.
The purpose of the meeting is to harmonize the visions and ensure the complementarity of the objectives of the IABIN, CHM, and GBIF initiatives in the Americas. Topics will include the IABIN Global Environment Facility (GEF) project process and implementation plan; a joint IABIN-CHM work plan for cooperation in biodiversity-related themes of common concern; GBIF objectives and how network development can meet them; biodiversity data standards and protocols for the hemisphere; and a financial sustainability strategy for IABIN. Institutions indicating an interest in serving as the IABIN Hub (a small secretariat for IABIN) will make brief presentations. A brief IABIN Invasives Information Network side meeting will be convened one evening.
For further meeting information, including the agenda, registration information, and lodging facilities, see the IABIN international Web site www.iabin.net, the IABIN U.S. Node Web site www.iabin-us.org, and/or the CBD Web site at www.biodiv.org.
The CHM and IABIN gratefully acknowledge the generous support of the Government of Belgium and the Global Environment Facility www.gefweb.org for this meeting.
