  PI: Elkin Noguera Ph.D and Bibiana Gomez Valencia Ph.D. - Mapping of colombian biodiversity using Species Distribution Models improved by experts (BioModelos). - Coupling, managing and harmonizing ecological bigdata databases (21 millions biodiversity occurrences) and constructing climatic variables from field measures. - Evaluating responses in the geographic distribution projections of colombian biodiversity through correlative niche modelling. - Constructing estimations of colombian Paramo ecosystem distribution and limits aiming to bring scientific assistance to decision makers, communities and statal institutions inside the national process to define strategic areas for conservation and management. - Planning climate variability National responses based on nature solutions and ecological research. - Supporting construction of continental Colombian Protected Areas Monitoring System (SIM-SINAP). Measures applied: ecological connectivity, species diversity and completeness, and richness representitivity. -Developing automatic workflows and code for biodiversity assessments, distribution models, conectivity and monitoring systems.
