On its map viewer map.geo.admin.ch the federal administration, in particular the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and the Federal Office for Agriculture (FOAG), provides information on indicators and measures for the preservation of biodiversity, the sustainable use of landscapes and the combating of soil degradation.

Here are some concrete examples of datasets on the topics of biodiversity and terrestrial ecosystems on map.geo.admin.ch:

• Swiss National Park and parks of national importance
• Mire landscapes, fens and raised bogs
• Forest reserves
• Floodplains
• Dry grasslands
• Invasive alien plants, e.g. solidago canadiensis
• Swiss game reserves
• Wildlife corridors - Wildlife networks systems
• Erosion risk map for arable land

This news article appears as part of a series on potential contributions of geoinformation to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals ("SDGs").
