Elon Musk’s recent announcement that he will donate $100 million to whomever develops the most promising technologies to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is both exciting and depressing. Exciting because such incentives could galvanize new innovation.
An inventory of biodiversity data sources for conservation monitoring
Many conservation managers, policy makers, businesses and local communities cannot access the biodiversity data they need for informed decision-making on natural resource management. A handful of databases are used to monitor indicators against global biodiversity goals but there is no openly available consolidated list of global data sets to help managers, especially those in high-biodiversity countries. We therefore conducted an inventory of global databases of potential use in monitoring biodiversity states, pressures and conservation responses at multiple levels.
