4.6. Funding and sustainability (GOVERNANCE)

To some extent I see this as part of GBIF’s mission, but collections are only one part of a large stakeholder group for GBIF.
National and international consortia of collections have a much greater stake in having and maintaining quality collections information. In Europe this would be CETAF, but I’m sure there are examples on other continents. Nevertheless, it is not going to be easy to sustain long-term funding!
