A BON - Biodiversity Observation Network (BON) - is a community of practice, applying a network approach to coordinating biodiversity observation programs and efforts.
1. Be local, sub-national, national, regional or global in scale of operation and can cover one or multiple dimensions or aspects of biodiversity.
2. Be structured around themes, methods, biomes or specific taxonomic groups.
3. Be a networking point for people who want to strengthen biodiversity observations.
If you are part of a group of people working to improve biodiversity observations, you are part of a BON. Join BON in a Box!
BON in a Box serves as a hub for Biodiversity Observation Networks (BONs), consolidating diverse tools and resources to enhance data analysis and collaboration.

A platform that provides biodiversity monitoring tools and facilitates
coordination and networking between countries is needed to face the
global biodiversity crisis.
Use BON in a Box to improve assessment of biodiversity status and guide
better decisions.
• Improve science further, through open and repeatable processes
