What has changed is our capacity to find this and other infectious agents through a coordinated global monitoring network.
This paper outlines the strategy for constructing a global monitoring network for periglacial processes.
According to the global monitoring network Traffic, some 88m wild orchids, 6.2m wild-caught live birds, and 7.5m live-caught reptiles were traded globally between 1996 and 2001.
Bill Gates and the foundation announced a $10 million grant to Conservation International [and to the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research in South Africa and Columbia University's Earth Institute — Ed.] to create a global monitoring network –- we call it Vital Signs — focused on the direct connections between ecosystem health and agricultural productivity.
Recent years have seen increased attention to bats as an effective bioindicator group for assessing responses to drivers of global change, which concurrently has led to a revived interest in establishing a global bat monitoring network.
Here, we review current monitoring efforts and propose a global biodiversity monitoring network to complement and enhance these efforts.
First used 30 years ago, Brewers, as they are called, are now in use in more than 45 countries and a crucial part of the global ozone monitoring network.

We show that a real-time global TEC monitoring network is able to detect the acoustic and gravity waves generated by the earthquake and tsunami.
The scientists at the Prince's forum endorsed a call for much greater investment on "big science, which supports the integration and expansion of global tropical forest monitoring networks" and "enhanced research" into the resilience of forests.
