We also need to work together as a region to fill critical knowledge gaps, finetune our targets and find a way to monitor and report on our progress towards them. By measuring our progress against regionally relevant targets, we will also be able to demonstrate our contribution to protecting State, National and International priorities. The next critical step requires a coordinated approach across all sectors to combine our knowledge and resources so we can create what scientific circles and our communities are calling for.
