Abstract
A recent theme issue of *Phil Trans B* addressed the multifaceted problems of tracking biodiversity change to meet emerging international development goals, national economic accounting, and diverse community interests. The results place biodiversity science in the context of policy needs, and provide an updated roadmap for how to acquire, process, and use biodiversity observation data in a changing world. In this seminar, several of the authors will speak about their work.
