One of the three outcomes of the 2010 BIP is to have, “National governments and regional organizations using and contributing to the improved delivery of global indicators.” The Biodiversity Indicators Partnership is not just about improving global-scale indicators, but is equally a two-way partnership of global work supporting national and regional development of indicators, and for this in turn to enrich the global indicators and reports.

Through its ‘Global-National Linkages’ component, the 2010 BIP is providing support to national decision makers in the development and use of biodiversity indicators at the national level. The 2010 BIP is providing support through a variety of mechanisms from capacity building workshops to guidance documents on indicator selection and development.

In order to share the Partnerships extensive knowledge and experience in national indicator development the 2010 BIP has created the National Biodiversity Indicators Portal. This Portal, a companion site to the 2010 BIP, is designed to be a comprehensive resource for nations and regions looking to select and develop biodiversity indicators.  As well as providing guidance and support through both online material and resources for download, the Portal is a resource where nations share their experiences and lessons learnt from indicator development.

The National Biodiversity Indicators Portal is accessible from anywhere on the main 2010 BIP site by clicking on the ‘Go to BIP National’ icon in the top right hand corner.
