"Biodiversity is the world's most valuable resource, but the least valued. This is a strategic mistake." E.O. Wilson, Harvard. Mission: network of decision-making data systems in states/provinces -- where real protection decisions are made -- which establish scientifically exactly which (among thousands) species and ecosystems are in danger of extinction. Vital: locate exactly where remaining examples occur, at a scale of precision usable, eg, by an agency planning a new road. BDI has already created just such a system -- and propagated it widely in the New World. Mission: establish this system in Asia. See www.biodiversityconservancy.net BDI is starting in Yunnan province China, but needs funds to train locals to gather/process/analyze data -- Yunnan Natural Heritage Conservation Decision/Data Center (YN-NHCDC).
