Description

Not provided

In 2011-2013, Plant Conservation Action group (PCA) initiated a project with the Seychelles National Herbarium (SEY) to digitize the Herbarium collections and species occurrence data from literature, allowing to define 75 Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs). This became known as the KBA-Herbarium database and has now evolved into a National Biodiversity Database called Bio. Since 2013, ongoing projects led by PCA members have developed Smartphone tools to collect biodiversity data. As a consequence, the database has grown from 23000 to 48000 records. We would like to use these new data to update the KBA assessment using the now available international guidelines of criteria, parameters and threshold values https://portals.iucn.org/library/node/47982). We also want to include the ecosystem criteria which are particularly important to fine tune the delineation of KBAs. Considering that many KBAs are overlapping with privately owned land parcels, and that the Government of Seychelles is currently developing Nomination Files to raise some KBAs to a protection status, an internationally recognized assessment will be essential for discussion with all stakeholders. This GBIF project is an opportunity to formally share our data on species occurrences with GBIF in the form of a dataset, and therefore to secure data ownership and facilitate sharing of our data beyond the Seychelles.
