This workshop is designed to facilitate an international professional exchange on the integration of biodiversity data. Based on practical case studies, the research team of project ENABLElocal will first provide insights into local examples from Sweden, Germany, and the Czech Republic. In addition, a handbook for practitioners will be presented, containing general guidance on tools and instruments, as well as approaches for better integrating biodiversity data into local decision-making processes in nature conservation and land use. In interactive discussion groups, participants will also have the opportunity to exchange ideas across sectors and organizational levels.

The workshop will be conducted in English and is aimed at experts from nature conservation organizations, research institutions, and government agencies who are responsible for planning and implementing practical nature conservation measures, funding programs, or biodiversity monitoring, as well as for data provision.

The workshop is an online event and is free of charge. Registration is required.

ENABLElocal is a joint project of the Institute for Social-Ecological Research (ISOE) in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, the Global Change Research Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences (Czech Globe), and the Department of Biology at Lund University, Sweden,
