The Biodiversity Indicators Partnership (BIP) brings together a number of international organizations working on the development of indicators, to provide the best available information on biodiversity trends to the global community. The partnership was initially established to help monitor progress towards the 2010 Biodiversity Convention (CBD), Biodiversity targets. However, since its establishment in 2006 BIP has developed a strong identity not only within the CBD but with other Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEA), national and local governments and other sectors. As a result, the Partnership will continue through cooperation and international cooperation to provide information and trends in biodiversity indicators into the future.

Current status
The Partnership extends broadly and knowledgeably to ensure that it can play a central role in processes over the coming decades, including supporting the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio 20), Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification UNCCD), the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, the United Nations Environment Program, and the Intergovernmental Science Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES). The center of the updated Partnership will be a revitalized relationship with the Convention on Biological Diversity. In 2010, at the 10th Conference of the Parties to the CBD held in Nagoya, Japan, the BIP was referred to eight times in an official decision adopted. This reference demonstrates a clear willingness for the Partnership to continue to support the CBD with the implementation of the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity 2011-2020. The Strategic Plan consists of 20 new biodiversity targets for 2020, referred to as 'Aichi Biodiversity Target'.

​​Latar Belakang
Biodiversity covers the whole range of life on Earth. This is very important for human survival and is a key measure of the health of our planet. Human activities can not be changed anymore impact on biodiversity. In all regions of the world, species extinction rates have increased, ecosystems have been degraded, and genetic diversity has declined.
In response to this situation, the international community agreed to "achieve a significant 2010 reduction of the current level of biodiversity loss at the global, regional and national levels as a contribution to poverty alleviation and to the benefit of all life on Earth." "Target The 2010 Biodiversity was adopted by the government in 2002 at the Sixth Conference of Parties (COP 6) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
An important part of achieving the 2010 biodiversity targets is being able to measure and communicate progress. For this purpose the CBD adopted the framework in 2004, which included the use of various biodiversity indicators to measure progress towards the 2010 target. In 2006, this framework was further elaborated and the 2010 Biodiversity Diversity Partnership was established, as a global initiative to further develop and promote indicators for consistent monitoring and assessment of biodiversity. BIP 2010 was established with great support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF).
Destination
The Partnership's main objective is to reduce the level of biodiversity loss at the global level, through better decisions for the conservation of global biodiversity. To meet this objective, the main results of BIP are:
- Establishing information on biodiversity trends that are useful to decision-makers;
- To ensure the improvement of global indicators is implemented and available;
- To build links between biodiversity initiatives at the national and regional levels to enable capacity building and improve delivery of biodiversity indicators.
Biodiversity indicator
Through governance and CBD advisory bodies, the global biodiversity community identifies a row of 17 key indicators from seven focus areas to assess progress toward, and communicates the 2010 targets at the global level.
Since 2007, partners have worked to ensure the most accurate information is available to decision makers. The BIP indicator has substantially contributed to the 3rd edition of the Global Biodiversity Outlook , shown in the Status and Trends in Biodiversity section of this main CBD publication.
Partnerships also work to integrate the indicator results into a coherent and compelling storyline that provides a more easily understood picture of biodiversity status.
Partners
The Partnership brings together a number of international organizations working to support the regular delivery of biodiversity indicators at the global, national and regional levels.
BIP Partners can be separated into the following categories:
Setting a link
BIP works to communicate the relationship between partnership work and all potential users, including highlighting the usefulness of the components of the CBD indicator suite for other multilateral environmental agreements. BIP has presented results and held events at the following major MEA international meetings: the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the United Nations Convention on Combating Desertification (UNCCD), the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA)), the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) and the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. Engagement with the private sector is also the goal of this partnership. BIP has provided financial support and is currently providing ongoing technical support to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), to advance the integration of related indicators into company performance measures.
Support and development of regional and national indicators
In addition to improving global-scale indicators, BIP has been actively involved in supporting national and regional initiatives; facilitate the development and implementation of indicators that respond to country-specific national biodiversity priorities. A capacity building workshop program has been implemented worldwide, bringing together the various institutional representatives involved in developing national indicators to share experiences and best practices. About 45 countries have been involved to date.
A series of guidance documents on the development of national indicators has been published, along with the web portal (www.bipnational.net). This multi-lingual website is the most complete online resource for guidance, support, and shared experience of developing effective indicators for countries and regions seeking to develop biodiversity indicators.
