Learning in Biodiversity Nexus is the set of paths through which professionals build competence in the biodiversity and nature field, starting from the methods it applies, such as ecology and biodiversity science as well as Earth observation and remote sensing. Courses are listed once approved, with provider, level and terms; completing one is a learning record, not a professional licence or certification.

For learning and professional development, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on population density, land cover, night lights and true-colour imagery with true colour from NASA GIBS, framed on the Amazon Basin; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

Layers and dates
Each method links to its canonical page, which lists teaching material as it is published.
| Module | Builds on | Level |
|---|---|---|
| Ecology for risk analysts | Ecology and biodiversity science | Foundation |
| Mapping ecosystems from space | Earth observation and remote sensing | Intermediate |
| Spatial analysis of biodiversity | Spatial statistics and geostatistics | Intermediate |
| Water and ecosystems | Hydrology and water science | Intermediate |
| Causal evidence for conservation | Causal inference and impact evaluation | Advanced |
| Ecosystems as complex systems | Complex systems and agent-based modelling | Advanced |
Courses are listed once approved, with their provider, level and terms. Completing a course is a learning record, not a professional licence or certification.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Learning outcome | A statement of what a learner knows, understands and is able to do on completing a learning process, the unit the European Qualifications Framework uses to compare qualifications. |
| Micro-credential | A record of learning outcomes from a short, assessed course of study. |
| Continuing professional development | The planned maintenance and broadening of a professional's knowledge, skills and judgement throughout a working life, recorded under the rules of the relevant professional body. |
| Earth observation and remote sensing | Earth observation and remote sensing gather information about the Earth's surface and atmosphere from airborne and spaceborne sensors. |
The bodies and documents this page is read against. Status and editions change; each link goes to the issuing body.
The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
