Abstract It is time to synthesize the knowledge that has been generated through more than 260 years of botanical exploration, taxonomic and, recently, phylogenetic research throughout world. The adoption an updated Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC) in 2011 provided essential impetus development World Flora Online (WFO) project. project represents international, coordinated effort by community achieve GSPC Target 1, electronic all plants. will be a first‐ever unique and...
Researchers and policymakers have called on the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), in its role as statutory biodiversity organisation of Africa, to develop a coordinated integrated informatics hub. While information is increasingly available from several providers, there no platform through which access comprehensive single source. In response, SANBI redeveloping Advisor platform, will integrate geospatial, species ecosystem data, literature other data made by wide...
The e-Flora of South Africa project was initiated in 2013 by the African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) support Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSPC, 2011-2020). Africa's flora consists ca. 21,000 taxa which more than half are endemic. will contribute a national Flora towards Target 1 GSPC ("To create an online all known plants 2020"). contribution is 6% world’s 3% endemic and therefore unique. Africa’s electronic comprised previously published descriptions. data forms part...
Biodiversity Advisor, developed by the South African National Institute (SANBI), is a system that will provide integrated biodiversity information to wide range of users who have access geospatial data, plant and animal species distribution ecosystem-level literature, images metadata. It aims deliver centralized location with open enable research, assessment monitoring; support policy development; foster collaboration advance governance. Data are aggregated from multiple, diverse data...
Georeferencing helps to fill in biodiversity information gaps, allowing data be represented spatially allow for valuable assessments conducted. The South African National Biodiversity Institute has embarked on a number of projects that have required the georeferencing assist redlisting species and measuring protection levels species. Data quality is an important aspect. Due lack standardisation collection recording methods historical collections provide challenge when it comes ascertaining...
