The Global Biodiversity Standard Webinar

In August 2023, BGCI and SER hosted the latest in the BGCI Webinar series: The Global Biodiversity Standard.

In this BGCI and SER webinar (hosted by SER), we introduce the Global Biodiversity Standard and the criteria for certification. An outline of the methodology is presented, covering (1) the use of SER’s 5-Star System to measure ecosystem integrity, including biodiversity, native, rare and threatened species, absence of invasive species, and genetic diversity, (2) a stakeholder engagement survey and (3) a review of monitoring and evaluation plans.
