ResearchObjectives: to coordinate and support efforts that examine the status,
trends, and drivers of change in freshwater biodiversity
• Coordinate research efforts• transnational access to infrastructure and data
• Align FW Biodiversity research to other initiative (SGDs, IPBES)
• Provide mentor system for poorly represented/funded areas
• Propose and draft calls for funding in FW Biodiversity research

Shifting Baselines
• We traditionally make management decisions based on reference conditions.
• Climate change fundamentally alters the reliability of this data for predicting future states.
• Deep uncertainty about the future means that decisions cannot come from data alone.

Lost in Translation
• Lack of awareness does not stem from a lack of data
• Water language is the language of engineers • Quantity, quality, frequency, timing, duration, etc.

Research for data’s sake is not good research• Who is your data designed for?
• Is it relevant to their needs? To their field and socio-cultural context?
• Can they access, understand, and take action?
• For these reasons, end users MUST be active research participants and leaders, not passive recipients of “our” knowledge

• WWF-Mex and CONAGUA sponsored project to establish a national system of water reserves
• In collaboration with water users, rural communities, academic institutions, NGOs, and the federal government

Mexico’s National Water Reserves Program
• Demonstrates that water reserves ensure a healthy functioning of the water cycle, as well as the environmental services they provide
• Build capacity for implementation of e-flows backed by official national guidelines throughout the country

ConservationObjectives: to inform, support, connect, and implement freshwater biodiversity conservation
The Alliance proposes to initially focus on the following activities:
• Expert Network: to share and disseminate information and technology
• Blueprint for Action & Protected Area gap analysis: to develop a global “Blueprint for Action” identifying important freshwater ecosystems or sites & gaps in protection
• Conservation Action: action in those ecosystems or sites prioritised through the Blueprint for Action
• Funding Platform: to showcase projects for site-based conservation action of freshwater species and ecosystems
