The ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity
Facilitates cooperation and coordination
among the members of the ASEAN, and
With relevant national governments, regional
and international organizations, on the
conservation and sustainable use of biological
diversity and the fair and equitable sharing of
benefits arising from the use of such biodiversity
in the ASEAN region
Thematic interests (ABS, TEEB, AHPs, GTI, IAS, PES,
B&B, CC, Green, Blue Economy, etc.)
The ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity
Intergovernmental Organization
Major Concerns
ASEAN Member States’ Compliance to MEAs
Programme Development and Implementation
Biodiversity Information Management
Has Partnership Agreements with
CBD, GBIF, IUCN, BIRDLIFE, PEMSEA, KfW, GIZ
Implements projects with ASEAN, ASEAN + 3

data
Interoperability and
data integration
structures
information
Promote standard practices
Adopt
a globally compatible database
architecture
in National CHMs
For species and protected areas
Share
info by using readily available online and
offline databases
Georeference information
Use information for “good” things only to earn
the trust of collaborators
Organize into a community of collaborators to
derive agreements (data contribution, use
access, updating, populating, KM products, etc)

Darwin Core
Standard format derived from previous standards (e.g.,
Dublin Core, etc.)
Contains concepts (‘fields’, elements’ or ‘attributes’) that
can be used to describe the most common information
about a specimen.
Contains the following species information:
o Taxonomic classification,
o Specimen identification,
o Locality details,
o Collecting event information (who, why, where, when,
how),
o Biological data about the specimen & reference images
More information on Darwin Core can be viewed at

ASEAN China
ASEAN-China Environmental Protection
Cooperation Strategy 2009-2015, Major
implementing institution: ASEAN-China
Environmental Cooperation Center (CAEC)
to assist and provide support to AMS and
China on the coordination and
implementation of environmental
cooperation policies, programs, projects and
activities between China and ASEAN on
matters related to biodiversity and
ecological conservation.
ASEAN Japan
• Collaboration among the AMS and the East
and Southeast Asia Biodiversity Information
Initiative (ESABII – Japan).
• Global Taxonomic Initiative (GTI) Regional
Action Plan, to identify collaborative activities
• Enhance capacities in taxonomic knowledge
for strengthening scientific basis in decision
making
• Asia – Pacific Biodiversity Observation Network

Proposal preparation
ASEAN India
Developing and implementing a national ABS
Legal Framework in preparation to accede to
and ratify the Nagoya Protocol
Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL) to
preserve, document and protect traditional
knowledge and prevent misappropriation of
biodiversity and associated TK
Increase the capacity of AMS in terms of
increasing awareness and better
understanding of intellectual property rights in
relation to biodiversity, including ABS
Share experiences in community ABS practices

Data / Information Harmonization Challenges
y
Terminology - Common meaning / interpretation
of words, level off our understanding on
commonly used terminologies and acronyms
Comparable Methods
Information integrity – data, maps
Duplication of research
Availability of information for trending across
sites, through time
Adequate data volume
Limitations
Willingness to contribute / share
Type of information contributed
Frequency of data contributions
Sustainable sources of funds
IT capacity
Personnel
Equipment
Recommended Mechanisms
On Interpretation and data repatriation – convene
experts to engage in:
Collaborative development of knowledge
product ideas
Target conservation management
effectiveness
Periodic preparation of national and regional
status of ASEAN ecosystems
Easy to read and understand outputs for policy
makers and protected area and park rangers
Prospective Outputs
Accessible
information through the regional
CHM / BISS databases
A
Functional repository of ASEAN species, ecosystems and
protected area information,
Regular regional summaries / analysis of information,
biodiversity trends and other knowledge products
community of active data contributors
Ready
reference for the state of ASEAN
biodiversity reports
Next Steps
Encourage
continuous data contribution
and analysis
Resolve
data compatibility issues
Repatriate
analyzed and integrated
information for national use - in policy
development, communicating biodiversity
conservation, strategic prioritization and
establishment of protected areas.
Recommended Mechanisms
Institutional arrangements for data
collection, exchange and management:
Assign
a national focal point with
clear roles and responsibilities on data
collection and management
Organize
information sharing
guidelines and partnerships
