Dear friends of the GBIF Asia community, Our team members have collaborated with TaiBIF to host a session "Overcoming Barriers to Biodiversity Data Sharing and Use in Asia: Success Stories and Lesson Learned" (Session ID: 6799127) at Living Data 2025 on 21-24 October in Columbia. This is a hybrid session, and we would like to highlight the efforts made in Asia. If you have any stories and experiences to share, please don't hesitate to submit abstracts to our session. Also, the conference is hosted by GEO-BON, GBIF, OBIS, and TDWG this time. It would be a great opportunity to make your achievements more visible, learn more about the latest informatics technology, and communicate with great people around the world! We look forward to seeing you at the conference.
