<div dir="ltr">Dear CODATA,<div><br></div><div>best greetings.<br><br></div><div>We discussed here earlier some of the problem cases of data sharing,</div><div>specifically with UN level bodies and NGOs globally.</div><div><br></div><div>So for an example, </div><div>I simply ask you to try this one for the IUCN (bottom tweet and URL next line):</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.iucn.org/resources/conservation-tools/world-database-of-key-biodiversity-areas">https://www.iucn.org/resources/conservation-tools/world-database-of-key-biodiversity-areas</a> <br></div><div><br></div><div>These are public areas anyways and based on compiled public GBIF data etc information.</div><div><br></div><div>If you go through those steps and actually want to see the data,</div><div>take many hoops, including a personal review, robot clicks, and a delay time</div><div>of 2-5 working days (!). Needless to say, those data are technically</div><div>very problematic for content, bias and GIS formats and metadata etc.</div><div>It's not possible for people to use R for it etc.</div><div><br></div><div>That's not Open Access data sharing, as it can be done and is done elsewhere, or any such leadership,</div><div>nor does it deal with a valid conservation (in case that's the aim here)..</div><div><br></div><div>Let's point out that BirdLife International NGO runs it, and which is based</div><div>in UK, has various royal support and receives money from 'big industrial funders' etc.</div><div><br></div><div>A good source to know re fundings might be this one, besides others:</div><div><a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=SourceWatch">https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=SourceWatch</a> </div><div><br></div><div>Here for BirdLife International link accordingly</div><div><a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=BirdLife_International">https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=BirdLife_International</a> <br></div><div><br></div><div>For a comparison, here the US one for The Audubon Society linking with Elsevier etc etc</div><div><a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=National_Audubon_Society">https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=National_Audubon_Society</a> <br></div><div><br></div><div>This is public information.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks, very best</div><div> Falk Huettmann PhD, Professor</div><div> Uni of Alaska Fairbanks</div><div><br></div><div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">---------- Forwarded message ---------<br>From: <strong class="gmail_sendername" dir="auto">Twitter</strong> <span dir="auto"><<a href="mailto:info@twitter.com">info@twitter.com</a>></span><br>Date: Sun, Jun 21, 2020 at 2:57 PM<br>Subject: IUCN shared "World Database of Key Biodiversity Areas"<br>To: Falk Huettmann <<a href="mailto:fhuettmann@alaska.edu">fhuettmann@alaska.edu</a>><br></div><br><br><u></u>
