| Biography : | Director of Belize Tropical Forest Studies (BTFS). The mission of BTFS is to collect and disseminate biodiversity information in and about Belize. BTFS's activities are mainly oriented towards biodiversity assessments but does some work on regional projects and technical partnerships and is the lead organisation behind the Biodiversity & Environmental Resource Data System (BERDS) which is a prototype on-line spatial information system. This system is intended to allow for search and discover of biodiversity and environmental data in a geographic (spatial) context. BERDS also serves as a data warehouse for in-house produced spatial data sets such as the Belize Ecosystems map and many others. Data collection activities focus on the surveys of terrestrial biodiversity, species occurrence and distributions. |
