This Biodiversity Auditing POST Note was published at the end of March before parliament was prorogued.
The NBN helped in the production of this Note, which links well with the NBN Inventory of Undigitised Datasets, through which we are assessing how many datasets require digitisation across the Network in order to help us secure future funding to mobilise this valuable information. Make sure you let us know of any undigitised data you hold, by reading the full article here and completing the Google Form.
Summary of the Biodiversity POST Note taken from the Parliament website:
Biodiversity supports the ecosystem services humans rely on for well-being and economic resources. Areas that have had an audit can make more effective use of ecological data to meet planning and conservation objectives for biodiversity. This POSTnote summarises the data sources used and the advantages of the audit approach for addressing biodiversity loss.
