Ecosystem protection and open data
abstract
Biodiversity is essential to every aspect of human life. However, to balance between biodiversity conservation and economic development appears to be a never-ending struggle, especially in our heavily populated country, Taiwan. We believe a current lack of public-shared information of where and when wildlife inhabits is the key knowledge gap contributing to the conflict between conservation and development. We hence established a biodiversity database that embraces the concept of open data - the Taiwan Biodiversity Network. Such a database aims to invite various sources of data collectors - including citizen scientists, NGOs, academic institutes, government agencies - to engage in different roles in the life cycle of biodiversity open data. We also work with researchers and data analysts to use biodiversity open data to involve in the decision process of emerging conservation issues. In this symposium, we will share our experiences and insights on (1) pathways to engage in biodiversity open data, (2) data application cases such as the conflict between green-energy and wildlife conservation, and (3) current requirement and limitations in using biodiversity open data.
Started to work on a database project called Taiwan Biodiversity Network at the Endemic Species Research Institute as an Associate Research Fellow since 2016. The current objective is to let more people realize the existence of such an open database and appreciate its potential value. Background expert knowledge is actually on birds (nope, not database), enjoys diving into the sea in the summer, and also playing some data analyses.
以開放資料理念彙整散落各處生物多樣性資料的團隊,希望資料能作為客觀證據幫助身邊的生態環境。本次論壇將由其中兩位成員分享:郭貴嵐-工作任務之一是生物開放資料大外宣(傳播妹),努力想讓同溫層之外的人認識我們在做的事;倪旻萱-負責公民科學計畫資料上傳工具(共通平台)的管理、與擔任工具使用者們的許願池女神。
喜歡賞鳥而開始關心自然生態,輾轉到了政府部門裡的邊緣單位(行政院農業委員會特有生物研究保育中心)裡當個專業打工仔,每天的工作是把各式各樣的生物資料畫在地圖上講故事,努力用有圖有真相的方式討論生態保育議題。
最初因為喜歡在野外走跳而踏入了生態領域,因為工作的緣故接觸到資料分析、地理資訊系統、開放資料而一頭栽入資料分析的世界。現為政府邊緣單位內的小計算機,平日工作主要為整理資料以及嘗試從中抽取出具有科學根據的資訊。相信透過開放資料以及資料分析可以讓世界變得更好!
