TGBS Assessor Knowledge Survey

The Global Biodiversity Standard (TGBS) Mentoring Program is a capacity-building initiative designed to enhance biodiversity outcomes in ecosystem restoration projects worldwide. It supports practitioners, institutions, and government agencies to align their work with the TGBS certification framework, ensuring scientifically credible, socially inclusive, and ecologically effective restoration practices. By fostering knowledge transfer, technical support, and continuous improvement, the TGBS Mentoring Program empowers projects to increase their ecological integrity, stakeholder engagement, and long-term biodiversity impact—contributing meaningfully to the global restoration agenda.

When the TGBS Secretariat receives a request for mentoring services, they will put together a Mentoring Team, that consists of at least one certified assessor from a local hub plus a technical expert. Technical experts may be drawn from certified TGBS assessors, TGBS technical partners, SER Certified Ecological Restoration Practitioner (CERP) or CERPs-in-Training (CERPIT) and members of the Ecological Restoration Alliance for Botanic Gardens.

This survey will help TGBS build a directory of knowledge that will be used to match assessors with applications for assessment and mentoring.
