3/3: The framework is modular, tiered, and built on FAIR & CARE principles. It's a call to build a common infrastructure. We need to get this done. Feedback welcome. #Biodiversity #Conservation

2/3: This isn't just for scientists. The BMSF is designed to be the auditable "data engine" for corporate disclosures (TNFD) and national reporting to the CBD. It's about connecting credible data to real decisions. #DataScience

1/3: Think of it as a "chain of evidence" blueprint. It standardizes the entire workflow so data from different projects can actually be aggregated and compared. This is critical for robust, large-scale application of the science. #OpenScience

The 2026 national reports are the first major test for countries to show progress with their monitoring. This will be a first peak at the progress.

So what now? It’s not enough to have a framework; we have to make it work.
This requires ambition and investment to help countries develop monitoring capacity and collaborate to fill gaps and translate knowledge into action.
Our paper offers a roadmap for filling these gaps. 5/6

📈 The Opportunity: If countries use all the optional indicators (the best-case), coverage improves to 29-47%.
But even then, 12% of the plan has no indicators at all. Key areas like benefit-sharing (Goal C) are major blind spots. 4/6

🚨 The Reality Check: If countries only report on the required (headline + binary) indicators, the monitoring framework has big gaps: it only covers 19-40% of the GBF’s goals and targets. We'll miss most of the story. 3/6

First, the monitoring framework has "required" indicators (the floor for reporting) and "optional" ones (for countries that want to be more comprehensive).
This distinction is critical, as our analysis shows.
