Open Access to, and publication of, Mountain Biodiversity Data of the Hindu Kush-Himalayan region

The aim of this workshop was to provide a global platform to publish, harvest and use biodiversity data from the HKH region by using international data, metadata standards and geo-referencing biodiversity data. Based on previous efforts, the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) in cooperation with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and the Global Mountain Biodiversity Assessment (GMBA) took an initiative and organised a regional workshop and hands on training.
