This guidance gives practical advice on how to go about mainstreaming the spatial biodiversity products. It explains how to present the results clearly, formulate effective key messages to suit the target audience and interpret the map categories in different contexts.

These guidelines aim to facilitate improved knowledge of agricultural and plantation forestry ecosystems, and their relationship with other ecosystems in complex landscapes, by providing clarity on how the IUCN Global Ecosystem Typology is applied in the context of agricultural and plantation forestry production. This provides a foundation for a range of applications that can enable and support sustainable agriculture.
