What are challenges in the uptake of EO in conservation NGO/CSOs!?
- Longevity of EO approaches beyond projects
- Not capturing on the ground impact
- Lack of fit-for-purpose data
-No matching skill sets
- Not showing all land resources, not only biodiversity
- wall to wall data over time
- ...☁️

IPBES knowledge gaps are diverse and have changed over time. From data fragmentation challenges to gaps in inclusive sense-making. All IPBES policy statements have an indication showing the level of agreement and quality of the evidence. For the latter EO has esp. a role, says @niamir.bsky.social. 💡

'Partner in crime': collaborator to make the much-needed change in how we interact with nature in an integrated way (Biospace Dictionary, 2025) 📖

"Data is abundant, but data without a mandate will not make change", says @gregoiredubois.bsky.social at #BIOSPACE25

And a kind reminder from Yana Gevorgyan from the GEO secretariat: observing the earth does not lead to action, observations need to be turned into 'intelligence' first.

The welcome talks are next level. Honest and clear reflections and views by international organizations. Many of them present in the room. @ipbes.net reminded the all of the ongoimg Monitoring Assessment and the role of EO in this. 🛰 🌍

"This is the first dedicated conference on EO and the many dimensions of biodiversity...more will follow" says ESA's Federica Marando. Sounds good!
