National Biodiversity Information System of Mexico

The National Biodiversity Information System (SNIB) of Mexico by the National Commission for the Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (CONABIO). The SNIB is of strategic importance in a megadiversity country like Mexico, making it clear to CONABIO from the beginning that the SNIB should rely on the work of the multiplicity of institutions and national and foreign experts that for years have been dedicated to the study of biodiversity of Mexico. The creation of this system was expressed as a mandate for CONABIO in the General Law of Ecological Balance and Environmental Protection (LGEEPA Art. 80 fraction V). The participation of specialists in the generation of data and information for the SNIB is one of the various ways in which they collaborate with this system, since having an information system that allows the country to make informed decisions regarding its biodiversity requires that it be made up of data and information supported by a broad network of experts.

墨西哥国家生物多样性信息系统（SNIB），由墨西哥国家生物多样性知识与利用委员会（CONABIO）负责。在墨西哥这样一个生物多样性极为丰富的国家，SNIB具有战略性的重要地位，这从一开始就对CONABIO而言不言而喻，即SNIB应依托众多机构以及国内外专家多年来致力于墨西哥生物多样性研究的工作。创建该系统的表述被界定为CONABIO在《生态平衡与环境保护总法》（LGEEPA第80条款V部分）中的使命。专家们参与生成SNIB所需的数据和信息，是他们在该系统中进行合作的各种方式之一。由于要构建一个允许国家就其生物多样性作出明智决策的信息系统，这就要求该系统由一个广泛专家网络支撑的数据和信息构成。
