Abstract

Occurrence data were recorded  for adult individual and diameter at base for saplings and seedlings. We registered the geographical coordinates sing GPS with 3 m, precision. A total number of 187 occurrence data were recorded.

Keywords: Occurrence, Haematostaphis barteri, Mountainous forest, Benin

Project details

Project title: Capacity building and biodiversity data mobilization to address health and food security priorities in Benin
Personnel: Jean Cossi GANGLO
Funding: The funding of this project is generously provided by European Union in the framework of Biodiversity Information for Development program managed by GBIF Secretariat
Study area descriptions/descriptor: The data digitized and published in the framework of this project are gathered throughout the whole country on the targeted species
Design description: The design is detailed according to the objectives of the project
1) Establish and strengthen national biodiversity information facilities; to achieve this, we will identify priority medicinal plants renowned in healing malaria and priority multipurpose agroforestry plant species used by Beninese. We will organize workshops to capacitate partners to enable them mobilize and use data. We will also digitize, and publish Benin data deposited in France, Netherlands, and Belgium.

2)  Increase available biodiversity data, within and beyond the grant period by providing technical and financial assistance to partner institutions to help them digitize their data. Data mobilized and checklists will be published through GBIF and GBIF Benin portals.

3) Apply biodiversity data in response to national priorities by achieving distribution maps and ecological niche models of the targeted species; we will suggest strategies to conserve and use species and make conclusions on how relevant protected areas are today and in the future with respect to biodiversity conservation and make adequate suggestions to increase their efficiency in protecting biodiversity. Finally, communications and outreach will be elaborated and broadcasted via diverse media to demonstrate to policy and decision makers the value chain: data → knowledge → applications.
