Data alone doesn't change the world — how we use it does.

From field observations to national policy, this conversation unpacks how biodiversity data is shaping real conservation action across Eastern and Southern Africa. In this video, we explore: 1. How countries translate spatial data into updated National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs) 2. The role of geospatial insights in reporting to the Convention on Biological Diversity 3. Tracking progress under the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework 4. Why harmonized data systems and regional collaboration are critical 5. The persistent gaps from capacity to interoperability and timely reporting As the demand for evidence-based decision-making grows, so does the need for data that is accessible, standardized, and trusted. ▶️ Watch the conversation and discover how biodiversity data is being turned into policy, and into action. #Biodiversity #DataForAction #ScienceToPolicy #NBSAPs #GIS #SustainableDevelopment #GeoConnect #dataforconservation #rcmrd ^AS
