A main objective of the BIP is to provide support to national decision makers in the development and use of biodiversity indicators. As well as the development of guidance documents and this website (the National Biodiversity Indicators Portal), the BIP is involved in a series of regional capacity building workshops to assist countries in selecting and producing indicators for their Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans and for international reporting to the biodiversity related Conventions.

The BIP has a wealth of experience in national indicator capacity building. The Partnership has run a series of regional workshops across the globe and engaged with over 45 countries.
