• Progress -Science Technical
• a. Biodiversity priority setting
• b. Quantifying targets (HSM/PVA)
• c. Landscape simulations scenario analyses

• Science Technology Capacity - future
• Software selection licenses (EC/Other partners)
• Additional licenses/software needs
• -VDDT TELSA, or equivalent (regional)
• -RAMAS MAT RAMAS Landscape (EC increase No. of
  simultaneous licenses regional licenses)
• 2. Training
• Additional training (Landscape modeling
  PVA/HSM)
• Transfer/Training (NAESI approach)
• (i) Process template transfer application
• (ii) Training manual or course (regions)
• (iii) Delivery of training
• 3. Peer review external capacity building
• Expanded peer review external network
• Regional/Provincial/National
• Coordination standardization
• a. Biodiversity priority setting

Next Steps Capacity Building Coordinating
work in the Pilot Areas
Needs for regional expansion -Platform for
coordinating NAESI Biodiversity Standards work
regionally -Regional Networks to conduct work

• Develop/identify
• a. appropriate regional leads networks
• b. training on tools overall approach to
  deliver to regions.
• This should include access to ongoing
  support/guidance from NAESI Biodiversity Thematic
  group
• Build local capacity
• Software licenses and manuals for tools
• Regional peer review ( links to external
  capacity)
• 3. Develop national peer network coordinating
  group
• a. Biodiversity priority setting
• b. Landscape modeling scenario simulation
  modeling
• c. Quantifying targets PVA, HSM
• 4. Integrate pieces (automations, scenario
  parameter alignment, etc)
• Wildspace
• Optimization algorithm
• Taxonomic-specific approaches to modeling
