Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
• “IPCC for biodiversity”
• SCAR should express its interest to get involved
• SCAR-MarBIN/ANTABIF can play an important role

Food for thought• its a time of rapid change, need for timely release
of data
• CAML’s virtual legacy
• flying across disciplines
• evolving as an ecosystem of communities
• save the whales? save the birds? SAVE THE DATA! [in as many contexts as possible]
• maintain or die (data, developments, standards...)
• momentum is on our side!Monday 2 August 2010
