Livestock has an important influence on biodiversity, ranging from negative to positive impacts. Due to its intrinsic complexity, including biodiversity in quantitative environmental assessments of the livestock sector is a challenge. After having developed, amongst other, several guidelines for the assessment of GHG emissions, water footprinting and nutrient modelling along livestock supply chains, the LEAP partnership is now forming a new technical advisory groups (TAG) to build global technical consensus on biodiversity assessment. A chair and technical members are sought for this group. Interested experts can apply until by 30th April 2017 (deadline extended).
Members of the TAG are technical experts having a strong background in one or more of the following subjects: ecology, biodiversity indicators, biodiversity LCA, biodiversity modelling, ecosystem services, animal science, agriculture science.   Ideally, TAG members have a proven track record in research and/or have built technical expertise by implementing relevant assessment schemes. More detail on tasks, work plan, deliverable and application procedure for the co-chair and members of the TAG is available below.
