<h4 id="N01">N01 - Know the state of biodiversity</h4>
<p>Currently:</p>
<p>- Small set of indicators provided my major actors (NGOs, etc.) ex: LPI, Redlist. </p>
<p>- Ad-hoc reporting.</p>
<p>- Realtime dashboard and annual reports.</p>
<p>- Parties are disagreeing on baselines and indicators.</p>
<p></p>
<p>New system : </p>
<p>- Use generic data and agreed-upon indicators to show a basic result.</p>
<p>- Use additionnal data sources to get a more accurate result.</p>
<p>- Intergrated in UN Biodiversity Lab and Target Tracker (WCMC, mandated by CBD).</p>
<p>- For SHI, the species will need to be specified.</p>

<p>- Look your answer... according to the system.</p>

<h4 id="N03">N03 - Know uncertainty of the answer</h4>
<p>Dimensions: spatial, temporal</p>

<p></p>
<p>Currently: what we have doesn't mean much.</p>
<p></p>

<p>- Tell if the monitoring network can detect the trend.</p>

<h4 id="N04">N04 - Predict the future state of biodiversity</h4>
<p>Planning:</p>
<p>SDM (eg Maria Isabel testing with plant data in Colombia)</p>
<p>Yan Boulanger - tree species and biomass for QC (he has data for 17spp) combined with info drivers (QC has very good monitoring data)</p>
<p>Issue: present and future predictions are different in terms of pipelines (debatable maybe?)</p>
<p>Major gap to be discussed: SDM connected with biodiversity metrics!!! (separate discussion on this point)</p>
<p>How we go from SDMs to indicators and then compound the uncertainty</p>
<p></p>
<p>New system : </p>
<p>Visualize the projection.</p>
<p>How do you change the monitoring network to reduce prediction uncertainty? ==> N05</p>
<p>Provide a feedback for better models for the current state ==> N01</p>
<p></p>
<p>(we must decide what trigger a re-run of the model)</p>

<p>Criteria could be : </p>
<p>- minimize cost of sampling;</p>
<p>- minimize uncertainty of prediction or uncertianty current state of biodiversity.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Currently: Historically-based reasons, or designed for other things than *detecting change*.</p>

<h4 id="N06">N06 - What can I sample</h4>
<p>NOT OUR DECISION</p>
<p></p>
<p>Sampling methods: Sound, DNA, direct observations, camera traps, satellite images</p>
<p>The model needs both large scale generic information, and reliable/specific observations.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Currently: Depending on who is doing it, can be cost-effective or a brute force approach.</p>

<p>Currently:</p>
<p>- No need to reach out to people most of the time, it is on github repos. </p>
<p>- There is no coherent generalized pipeline. Every code uses their own pipeline/resolution.</p>
<p></p>
<p>New system:</p>
<p>- Coherent pipeline that can be extended.</p>
<p>- Can add a specific step without coding everyting.</p>
<p>- There must be a gatekeeper process to asses the quality and relevance of what is merged.</p>
<p>- We want to show a working proof of concept before we allow external researchers to expand the system.</p>

<p>- Must give more confidence, with repeatable results!</p>

<p>New system:</p>
<p>- For species with low data, we should show only what we can. The intermediate results panel would be used to show what we can show if the query was specific.</p>
<p>- If the indicator query gave a result: be able to know which species were left out / or show at which step the species stopped. </p>
