In the use of biodiversity data is where the efforts of all the people working to make the data available digitally bears fruit. In this module we will make a general review of the most frequent scenarios of data use, with two objectives: to help GBIF Node managers to promote them, but also to help them build their own arguments, strategies and plans.

2. Summary
In the use of biodiversity data is where the efforts of all the
people working to make the data available digitally bears
fruit.
In this module we will make a general review of the most
frequent scenarios of data use, with two objectives: to help
Node managers to promote them, but also to help them
build their own arguments, strategies and plans.
This presentation corresponds to
Module 4A of the GB20 Training
course for Nodes hold in October
2013 in Berlin, Germany.

biodiversity hotspot
http://www.conservation.org/where/priority_areas/hotspots/Pages/hotspots_main.aspx
To qualify as a hotspot, a region must meet two strict criteria: it must contain at least 1,500
species of vascular plants (> 0.5 percent of the world's total) as endemics, and it has to
have lost at least 70 percent of its original habitat.

32. Example of costs due to the loss of biodiversity
The value of the activity of insects pollination was estimated at € 153 billion in 2005 => If
the bees disappear, mankind will pollinate the plant itself => New costs (technology
development, salaries workers, etc. ....) for a service for now "free” and yet vital
(Ecological Economics, 2008).

The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment:
http://www.unep.org/maweb/en/index.aspx
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment assessed the consequences of
ecosystem change for human well-being. From 2001 to 2005, the MA
involved the work of more than 1,360 experts worldwide. Their findings
provide a state-of-the-art scientific appraisal of the condition and trends
in the world’s ecosystems and the services they provide, as well as the
scientific basis for action to conserve and use them sustainably.
