Technology is a fundamental part of our everyday lives, whether it is making a telephone call, traveling to a meeting, or typing a report. The same holds true for protected area design, management and assessment — there is a wide range of technologies that can help improve nearly every aspect of protected area management. Over the past decade, technologies for protected areas has become increasingly sophisticated, including the use of computers, software, remotely-sensed data, global positioning systems (GPS), digital cameras, drones and other types of equipment and data. This webinar explores how technologies play a key role in protected area management, although in many places, these technologies are not widely available, are too expensive, or are too difficult to use.

This webinar highlights the Alliance for Zero Extinction (AZE) as a global initiative of biodiversity conservation organizations from around the world to prevent species extinctions by identifying and safeguarding key sites. Each site is the last remaining refuge of one or more Endangered or Critically Endangered Species. This session explains how AZE sites, as a subset of Key Biodiversity Areas, can be integrated into NBSAPs to achieve Aichi Targets and CBD reporting requirements.  

This course will provide you with the tools to assess the policy, institutional, and economic context for biodiversity finance; conduct a financial needs assessment to achieve a country’s biodiversity goals; and develop a biodiversity finance plan that identifies the most suitable finance solutions. It will teach you how to develop financially sound and politically feasible biodiversity finance plans. The course is aimed at conservation planning and biodiversity finance practitioners and policymakers, but is open to anyone.

In this webinar, Dr. Robert Höft (CBD), and Philip Bubb (WCMC) provided tips and information sources on biodiversity indicators to improve your Sixth National Report (6NR). They explained how to select and develop indicators using national and global data sources, and how to effectively present the results. You had the opportunity to work with global experts to resolve your challenges related to using the indicators in your NBSAP to develop your 6NR. The webinar also briefly introduced the resources developed by the Biodiversity Indicators Partnership (BIP) to support national indicator development.
