The ASEAN Member States (AMS) have committed to taking coordinated and bold action to prevent species extinction across the region and in line with their commitments and participation in the Convention on Biological Diversity, and other multilateral environmental agreements.

These commitments call on AMS to take effective and informed action on biodiversity conservation driven by current and accessible data that supports forward-looking actions and allows for the evaluation of conservation efforts and tracking of targets.

With support from the European Union through the Biodiversity Conservation and Management of Protected Areas in ASEAN Project (BCAMP), the ASEAN Centre for Biodiversity (ACB) has partnered with NatureServe in the development of the ASEAN Biodiversity Dashboard to provide key stakeholders in ASEAN access to an interactive, online platform for visualizing trends and geographic variation in biodiversity indicators used worldwide.
