Biodiversity Indicators Partnership

     · "The Biodiversity Indicators Partnership (BIP) is a global initiative to promote the development

     and delivery of biodiversity indicators. Its primary role is to serve the global user community

     by responding to the indicator requests of the CBD and other biodiversity-related Conventions,

     for IPBES, for reporting on the Sustainable Development Goals, and for use by national and

     regional governments."

Conservation Evidence

     · "...a free, authoritative information resource designed to support decisions about how to maintain

          and restore global biodiversity. We summarise evidence from the scientific literature about the

          effects of conservation interventions, such as methods of habitat or species management."

Living Planet Index (LPI)

     · “...a measure of the state of the world's biological diversity based on population trends of

       vertebrate species from terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats. The LPI was adopted by

       the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD) as an indicator of progress towards its 2011-2020

       targets and can play an important role in monitoring progress towards the post-2020 goals and

       targets...”
