Examples of collected data include information about the existence of species gleaned from specimens kept in a museum, as well as current data on citizen science. Such information is available online for free access and can be utilized in peer-reviewed studies that answer the research issue and to make judgments on the preservation of natural resources, human health, and sustainable development.
The intended audience of this event are:
- Asian GBIF nodes and Heads of Delegation
- Representatives of international organisations and initiatives, and key regional stakeholders
- Representatives of Asian governments not currently participating as formal members of GBIF
- Representatives of Thai institutions
