Call for technical cooperation in biodiversity assessment in the livestock sector
Building global technical consensus through the Livestock Environmental Assessment and Performance (LEAP) Partnership
Livestock has an important influence on biodiversity, ranging from negative to positive impacts. Due to its intrinsic complexity, including biodiversity in quantitative environmental assessments of the livestock sector is a challenge. After having developed, amongst other, several guidelines for the assessment of GHG emissions, water footprinting and nutrient modelling along livestock supply chains, the LEAP partnership is now forming a new technical advisory groups (TAG) to build global technical consensus on biodiversity assessment. A chair and technical members are sought for this group. Interested experts can apply until by 30th April 2017 (deadline extended).
Members of the TAG are technical experts having a strong background in one or more of the following subjects: ecology, biodiversity indicators, biodiversity LCA, biodiversity modelling, ecosystem services, animal science, agriculture science. Ideally, TAG members have a proven track record in research and/or have built technical expertise by implementing relevant assessment schemes. More detail on tasks, work plan, deliverable and application procedure for the co-chair and members of the TAG is available below.
