About
Animal movement data is one of the most powerful tools available to understand what resources wildlife need, where animals move, and what habitats are critical for species’ survival. As a result, movement is a critical component of at least nine Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), 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. The Global Initiative on Ungulate Migration (GIUM) and a recently proposed Biodiversity Observation Network for Animal Movement (Move BON) will offer a presentation and speaker panel to highlight efforts to close the science-policy gap by leveraging animal movement data for impactful biodiversity conservation projects.
