September 1-3 2010, Manaus: A basic course in Biodiversity Monitoring using the RAPELD system. Presented by PPBio/CENBAM/INPA in the Reserva Florestal Adolpho Ducke.
Several initiatives for biodiversity monitoring are in operation. For reasons already discussed, these initiatives have limitations in terms of taxonomic or geographical coverage. However, they have accumulated extremely valuable data that can be used to assess long-term trends in some groups. To maximize the usefulness of PPBio LTER sites, and modules used for bioprospecting and impact assessment, it is important that data from these initiatives can be integrated with data collected by PPBio.
