Geographical Biodiversity Scholarly Journal

Biodiversity - from genes to ecosystems - represents the combined biological information that has accumulated over billions of years of evolution. Until now, humanity is far from being able to determine its quantity and value, and to estimate the consequences that an expected decline of 10, 20 or even 50% of biodiversity could have for the maintenance of vital ecosystems and human well-being. Indeed, information on biodiversity at all levels of biological organization is fundamental to understanding how the Earth system works and how it interacts with human activities [1]. To halt, and potentially reverse, the rapid erosion of biodiversity, significant efforts are in place, guided by the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the Strategy for the EU for biodiversity (EC 2011), and various EU Directives (i.e. water framework directive, habitats directive). In addition, conservation efforts must be accompanied by education and capacity building.

Biodiversity research has a distinct spatial component and, therefore, can be exposed to geographic biases such as an under-representation of research activities in countries of the South. Similar biases have been discovered in research on climate change [2], invasive species [3,4] and in part biodiversity (eg [5,6]). In southern countries, for example, biodiversity is under-studied and poorly protected due to a lack of awareness and funding.
