Improving primary data and using it for threat assessment and in situ conservation planning in South America
Using primary biodiversity data from the IABIN network, we plan to develop tools that enhance both the primary data themselves and our understanding of the level at which South American biodiversity is currently threatened. A variety of tools will be developed and/or used, including a nice visualization interface to allow decision makers to navigate through the current scenario of biodiversity threats and conservation. In a greater detail we will:
Create Java-based scripts to assess the validity of coordinates reported within the IABIN database at three different levels: land/sea, country-level, and environmental-level.
Create Java-based scripts to retrieve valid and reliable coordinates from records within the database that have no location data
Create a Java-based script to extract primary data and model species distr
