Improving understanding of how biodiversity and ecosystems respond to environmental change is necessary to guide policy and management. To this end, the bioDISCOVERY project of the international programme on global change, Future Earth, initiates and supports international networks of scientists to advance research on monitoring and observations, scenarios and models, and assessments of biodiversity and ecosystems. bioDISCOVERY activities seek collective solutions to key research challenges, and provide support for the international science community by participating in the development of global databases. This global working-group approach is essential for directing cutting-edge science toward supporting international policies, addressing urgent environmental issues, and closing research gaps through transdisciplinary integration and mobilisation of the scientific community.

必须加强对生物多样性和生态系统如何应对环境变化的理解，以指导政策和管理。为此，关于全球变化的国际计划“未来地球”的bioDISCOVERY项目发起并支持国际科学家网络，以推进有关监测和观察，方案和模型以及生物多样性和生态系统评估的研究。bioDISCOVERY活动寻求针对关键研究挑战的集体解决方案，并通过参与全球数据库的开发为国际科学界提供支持。这种全球工作组方法对于引导尖端科学支持国际政策，解决紧迫的环境问题，
