Databases
The Databases group works towards bridging technical gaps in information availability for the conservation of our natural resources. Their mandate is to increase the accessibility, interlinkage and applicability of Ecological, Biophysical and socio-economic datasets for conservation and natural resource management.
Specific Objectives
- Synergizing institutional mechanisms for conservation
- Building spatial and non-spatial databases
- Standardizing data and metadata formats
- Linking existing databases, ensuring data interoperability
- Incorporation of newly emerging datasets that have implications for conservation
