Harnessing animal movement data to achieve
global biodiversity conservation goals

Movement is a key component of at least nine Sustainable Development Goals, fifteen targets of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF), and one class of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs). However, workflows to transform raw movement tracks into global conservation policy are highly underdeveloped. We aim to close the science-policy gap by developing an informed community of practice that will facilitate the integration of tracking data into environmental policy at national and global scales. A key outcome of the workshop will include the creation of a new thematic Biodiversity Observation Network (BON) to harmonize new and existing efforts with relevance to multilateral environmental agreements & processes (e.g., Convention on Biological Diversity, Convention on Migratory Species) and to foster collaboration beyond the initial workshop. This workshop is the product of a proposal developed by the Smithsonian Institution, WILDLABS, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, Senckenberg Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre, the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, and the University of Central Florida.
