Online survey launched to capture gaps in Ireland's Biodiversity knowledge
As part of Ireland's contribution to the International Year of Biodiversity, the National Biodiversity Data Centre is hosting a major meeting of scientists and recorders on 26th & 27th August to provide an overview on the state of knowledge on Ireland's biodiversity in 2010. The event will provide a major benchmark on the current state of biodiversity knowledge in Ireland, and will identify the major knowledge gaps that still exist.
If you wish to contribute to the identification of knowledge gaps but are unable to attend the meeting you can contribute your view through an online survey available at http://www.biodiversityireland.ie/home-page/biodiversity-knowledge-quest/
This survey provides an opportunity for you to identify knowledge gaps within particular taxonomic groups. There are 8 questions in total, relating to possible knowledge gaps within a range of areas; from lack of recognised Irish checklists to monitoring, policy and capacity building requirements. Surveys should be submitted before the 24th August, so that they can be used to inform the discussion at workshops during the 26-27th August meeting which will review the state of knowledge on Ireland's biological diversity and set priorities for 2020.
