However, this relatively small group can never hope to reach all relevant communities without assistance.</p> <p>Biodiversity Open Data Ambassadors can fill that gap. If you are a biodiversity professional who promotes the principles and best practices of open data sharing and use, we can equip you with information resources, networking opportunities and recognition to make you an even more effective advocate in your own professional communities.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="horizontal-stripe -background p-0" id="_volunteering-in-the-gbif-network" > <div class="container--desktop"> <div class="block_features"> <h2 class="block__header">Volunteering in the GBIF network </h2> <div class="block_features__list block_features__list--"> <article class="card card--spaced--very card--flexible block_features__item hoverBox"> <div class="block_features__item__imageArea"> <a href="/article/6dNF1d0tgcI4cmqeoS2sQ4/"></a> <img src="//api.gbif.org/v1/image/unsafe/500x400/http:%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fuo17ejk9rkwj%2F7EZKehPOIHwDcri5afmTAX%2Fbff1344894efcbf8bc797d92e7fb3405%2F41403628972_c9a9c601a0_o-hero.jpg" alt="" class="block_features__item__image"> </div> <div class="card__stripe--expandable inherit"> <div class="card__content" dir="auto"> <h4 class="block_features__item__title"> <a href="/article/6dNF1d0tgcI4cmqeoS2sQ4/" class="inherit">How to become a Biodiversity Open Data Ambassador </a> </h4> <div class="block_features__item__description"><p>Read more about the minimum qualifications and basic level of commitment</p> </div> </div> </div> </article> <article class="card card--spaced--very card--flexible block_features__item hoverBox"> <div class="block_features__item__imageArea"> <a href="/article/1ye7qAa9Z2HVSn85bfSmLP/"></a> <img src="//api.gbif.org/v1/image/unsafe/500x400/http:%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fuo17ejk9rkwj%2F6zXE6QuBd8pgZP72VefLDQ%2F5e14603ff076bdd47df2022e9ea8a23f%2F44415771552_adf27f9ec7-feature.jpg" alt="" class="block_features__item__image"> </div> <div class="card__stripe--expandable inherit"> <div class="card__content" dir="auto"> <h4 class="block_features__item__title"> <a href="/article/1ye7qAa9Z2HVSn85bfSmLP/" class="inherit">Who are the Biodiversity Open Data Ambassadors? </a> </h4> <div class="block_features__item__description"><p>Find local Ambassadors by searching country or areas of expertise</p> </div> </div> </div> </article> <article class="card card--spaced--very card--flexible block_features__item hoverBox"> <div class="block_features__item__imageArea"> <a href="/article/5SExsCfj7UaUkMCsuc6Oec/"></a> <img src="//api.gbif.org/v1/image/unsafe/500x400/http:%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fuo17ejk9rkwj%2F6H9eHgw88MeY8oE2IY0gq8%2F582ed8cf77f05ed3ae95a9a2c2ed2cd5%2F31395738556_962fff35de_k.jpg" alt="" class="block_features__item__image"> </div> <div class="card__stripe--expandable inherit"> <div class="card__content" dir="auto"> <h4 class="block_features__item__title"> <a href="/article/5SExsCfj7UaUkMCsuc6Oec/" class="inherit">Mentors and trainers </a> </h4> <div class="block_features__item__description"><p>Interested in sharing hands-on assistance during our capacity enhancement activities?</p> </div> </div> </div> </article> <article class="card card--spaced--very card--flexible block_features__item hoverBox"> <div class="block_features__item__imageArea"> <a href="/translators"></a> <img src="//api.gbif.org/v1/image/unsafe/500x400/http:%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fuo17ejk9rkwj%2F56NgO9CaydQYrLfcUBosul%2F6121d566c175eedea2ef8afc926f1543%2F48492698562_5ff682109a_o.jpg" alt="" class="block_features__item__image"> </div> <div class="card__stripe--expandable inherit"> <div class="card__content" dir="auto"> <h4 class="block_features__item__title"> <a href="/translators" class="inherit">Volunteer translators </a> </h4> <div class="block_features__item__description"><p>Support the GBIF network by reducing linguistic barriers to free and open biodiversity data</p> </div> </div> </div> </article> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="horizontal-stripe gray-background p-0" id="_resources-for-ambassadors" > <div class="container--desktop"> <div class="block_features"> <h2 class="block__header">Resources for Ambassadors </h2> <div class="block_features__list block_features__list--"> <article class="card card--spaced--very card--flexible block_features__item hoverBox"> <div class="block_features__item__imageArea"> <a href="/suggest-event"></a> <img src="//api.gbif.org/v1/image/unsafe/500x400/http:%2F%2Fimages.ctfassets.net%2Fuo17ejk9rkwj%2F1BDngW9Mx9dbpqzPxE7Jow%2Fae41aa9f57a68cf3e8b572f2651be532%2Ffrog_vn.jpg" alt="" class="block_features__item__image"> </div> <div class="card__stripe--expandable inherit"> <div class="card__content" dir="auto"> <h4 class="block_features__item__title"> <a href="/suggest-event" class="inherit">Suggest an event for GBIF's web calendar </a> </h4> <div class="block_features__item__description"><p>Know of an event relevant to the GBIF community that's missing from our list?
