Status
This is a draft high level roadmap that focuses on five goals to meet the vision and outcomes, and shows the alignment of areas of activity to these goals.
Goals (draft)
- Empower: Create a coordinated and sustainable community of biodiversity data holders, informatics experts data users and decision makers
- Improve: improve capability and capacity; provide and enhance abilities and resources to support data mobilisation; identify and remove barriers for mobilisation.
- Promote: increase awareness of the value, availability, and use of biodiversity data
- Mobilise: encourage and support delivery of New Zealand’s primary biodiveristy data
- Enhance: Support data publishers to increase the scope and the quality of biodiversity data they mobilise.

Roadmap (Indicative)
Indicative timing of activities aligned to phases of implementation.
| Phase | Theme | Indicative timing |
|---|---|---|
| Establish | Establish processes, programmes and infrastucture to support GBIF New Zealand | 2021-2023 |
| Engage | Building participation in, and awareness of, GBIF New Zealand | 2022-2024 |
| Mobilise | Mobilisation of priority data | 2022-2024 |
| Expand | Capacity building and increased mobilisation | 2023-2026 |
| Mature | Maturing and supporting - including reviewing progress | 2025- |
Indicative effort for each phase. Note that most phases overlap and integrate.
| Activity | Establish | Engage | Mobilise | Expand | Mature | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Implement a hosted node for GBIF-NZ | +++ | + | +++ | In parallel, higher levels of functionality may be identified and lead to the adoption of Living Atlas or similar approaches. Implementation of that approach would fall into the Improve phase. | ||
