Governments, businesses, and funders all have a strong interest in biodiversity measurement to inform decision making, assess impacts, and track progress toward conservation and restoration goals. The US-UK Scientific Forum on Measuring Biodiversity for Addressing the Global Biodiversity Crisis held in Washington, DC, on May 21–22, 2025, aimed to build momentum toward standardizing methods for using environmental monitoring technologies to assess biodiversity, ensure interoperability between different outputs, increase confidence that observed changes in biodiversity result from real changes in what is being measured, and advance integrating biodiversity monitoring with evaluation to help ensure that conservation at a variety of scales can be more effective.
