Actionable Conservation Science for the Global Biodiversity Framework
Esri Conservation Webinar Series
Learn about ArcGIS capabilities that support the Global Biodiversity Framework to achieve 30x30
Join the Esri conservation team for this extended webinar series on applying GIS to enable progress towards the goals of the post-2020 Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) framework. Many targets under the post-2020 CBD framework are inherently spatial, so applying proven geospatial technologies to monitor progress on these targets can streamline conservation impact at scale.
Watch this technical webinar series to gain insights from Esri’s spatial scientists on actionable tools and workflows that can be used to establish a baseline of environmental conditions and quantify and track progress on Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) targets.
Webinar 4
Regionalization and Optimization
Date: January 25, 2024
Time: 7:00 a.m.–8:00 a.m. (PT)
Location: Virtual
Cost: No Cost
Language: English
In this webinar, we explore optimizing our conservation efforts to identify key regions to reduce extinction risk as outlined in GBF target 4 and conserve at least 30 percent of terrestrial land (targets 2 and 3). We will focus on modeling and management approaches to inform conservation initiatives across landscapes and identify priority areas and essential corridors for species resilience.
Webinar 3
Species Distribution Modeling
Date: November 15, 2023
Time: 7:00 a.m.–8:00 a.m. (PT)
Location: Virtual
Cost: No Cost
Language: English
Invasive species are a major threat to ecological integrity. Understanding their spatial extents and habitat characteristics is critical for effectively managing and restoring landscapes, as is the focus of UN GBF Target 6. This third webinar will showcase how ArcGIS brings a scalable and integrated approach so that modeled results can be shared with collaborators and decision-makers.
Webinar 2
Sampling and Environmental Attribution
Date: September 13, 2023
Time: 7:00 a.m.–8:00 a.m. (PT)
Location: Virtual
Cost: No Cost
Language: English
The current mass extinction for species globally threatens the integrity of all ecological systems on Earth. Spatial analysis presents the opportunity to enrich field observations to project trends and patterns across geographic areas. This second webinar will showcase sampling and environmental attribution methods to identify risks, monitor progress, and prioritize areas related to UN GBF Target 4.
Webinar 1
Combining and Integrating Ecological Data
Date: June 7, 2023
Time: 7:00 a.m.–8:00 a.m. (PT)
Location: Virtual
Cost: No Cost
Language: English
To achieve the targets defined by the United Nations (UN) Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) will require a quantifiable, spatial approach to assess and monitor a wide array of conservation and environmental topics. This first webinar in the series showcases content from ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World and technical approaches to support the monitoring of progress toward UN GBF Targets 2 and 3.
