Finally, step outside, find some quiet, and simply listen. Pay attention to and appreciate that which surrounds you, for it is all part of the complex web that sustain life on earth.

Let's talk about the Species Information Index:
Target 21 of the GBF calls for “Ensur[ing] that the best available data, information, and knowledge [about biodiversity] are accessible to decision-makers, practitioners and the public.” (1/5)
The Species Information Index (SII) was formulated to do just that. The SII is a biodiversity indicator that assesses the taxonomic, spatial, and temporal coverage of publicly available species occurrence records. (4/5)
To learn more about the Species Information Index ahead of COP16, dive into another ArcGIS StoryMap: storymaps.arcgis.com/stories… (5/5)
