Biodiversity baseline data is key to conservation decision-making and practices, yet facing data deficiency and information asymmetry. With the assistance of technology tools, China Nature Watch aims at strengthening the collection of biodiversity data from various sources, especially citizen science, facilitating data applications in land use planning and public participation, and mainstreaming biodiversity conservation. 

Specifically, technology brings effective solutions to 3 modules:

• Camera trap data management: developing online AI-incorporated data management system to simplify and speed up camera trap data collection and processing.
• Citizen science data visualization: using PowerBI to automatically analyze and interactively visualize species records collected by citizen scientists.
• Biodiversity Impact Assessment Tool (BiA): integrating ecological and construction data from multiple data sources to provide instant enquiry of biodiversity impact assessment for construction projects via cloud platform.
