The Biodiversity Evaluation Engine (BEE) is the part of BON in a Box where you run biodiversity analyses. Use it to calculate indicators, estimate Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs), or identify where more monitoring could help fill data gaps.
Browse the available indicators, EBVs, and monitoring analyses.
Choose your study area and settings. Use globally available datasets, upload your own data, or combine the two.
BEE runs the analysis as a pipeline, a series of automated steps that bring in data, apply a scientific method, and produce results.
Use a shared method with data and settings that fit your area, from local observations to global and Earth observation data.
The code is open. Inspect inputs, settings, and intermediate outputs to check, share, and reproduce an analysis.
Contribute methods, reuse pipeline steps, or adapt workflows in the visual editor. Peer review helps assess contributed pipelines.
BEE is not a black box. Its workflows and code are open, so you can inspect how data is processed and how results are produced.
BEE does not store data; uploaded files serve as inputs for your analysis.
The ProtConn pipeline estimates the share of a study area covered by connected protected areas. It is a component indicator for Goal A and Target 3 of the GBF monitoring framework.
