Introduction: In light of the rapid change of our agricultural landscapes and the imminent loss of ecosystem services, also in the seas, meaningful data about the status and development of biological diversity is particularly significant. Only if we can evaluate the trends and understand the causes of the losses of biological diversity can we find strategies to reverse the trend. It is urgently necessary to customize and coordinate existing programs of monitoring and to purposefully create systems of indicators and monitoring for agriculture, forestry and fisheries. Here Germany plays an important role in international cooperation efforts.
