Measuring progress towards international biodiversity targets requires robust knowledge of the conservation status of species, which is provided by the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. However, data and capacity are lacking for most hyperdiverse groups such as invertebrates, plants and fungi, particularly in megadiverse or high-endemism regions. Conservation policies and biodiversity strategies aimed at halting biodiversity loss by 2020 need to be adapted to tackle these information shortfalls in the post-2020 period. Here, we propose an eight-point strategy to close existing data gaps by: (1) reviving explorative field research on the distribution, abundance and ecology of species; (2) linking taxonomic research more closely with conservation; (3) improving global biodiversity databases by making the submission of spatially explicit data mandatory for scientific publications; (4) developing a global spatial database on threats to biodiversity to facilitate IUCN Red List assessments; (5) automating pre-assessments by integrating distribution data and spatial threat data; (6) building capacity in taxonomy, ecology, and biodiversity monitoring in countries with high species richness and/or endemism; (7) creating species monitoring programmes for lesser-known taxa; (8) developing sufficient funding mechanisms to reduce reliance on voluntary efforts. Implementing this strategy within the post-2020 biodiversity framework will help to overcome the lack of capacity and data regarding the conservation status of biodiversity. This will require a collaborative effort between scientists, policy makers and conservation practitioners.

未来十年解决被忽视生物多样性数据不足的战略

衡量实现国际生物多样性目标的进展需要对物种保护状况的深入了解,这由 IUCN 受威胁物种红色名录提供。然而,大多数超多样性群体(例如无脊椎动物、植物和真菌)的数据和能力都缺乏,尤其是在生物多样性超群或高度特有的地区。需要调整旨在到 2020 年阻止生物多样性丧失的保护政策和生物多样性战略,以解决 2020 年后时期的这些信息短缺问题。在这里,我们提出了一个八点战略来缩小现有的数据差距:(1)恢复对物种分布、丰度和生态的探索性实地研究;(2) 将分类学研究与保护更紧密地联系起来;(3) 通过对科学出版物强制提交空间明确数据来改进全球生物多样性数据库;(4) 开发关于生物多样性威胁的全球空间数据库,以促进 IUCN 红色名录评估;(5) 通过整合分布数据和空间威胁数据,使预评估自动化;(6) 在物种丰富度和/或特有性高的国家建设分类学、生态学和生物多样性监测能力;(7) 为鲜为人知的分类群制定物种监测计划;(8) 建立足够的筹资机制,以减少对自愿努力的依赖。在 2020 年后生物多样性框架内实施这一战略将有助于克服关于生物多样性保护状况的能力和数据的缺乏。这将需要科学家之间的共同努力,政策制定者和保护实践者。文章影响声明:全球保护政策需要一项战略,以获得可靠的数据,以衡量针对生物多样性目标的进展。本文受版权保护。版权所有。
