###### Figure Visualization of two genetic diversity indicators in the Global Biodiversity Framework. *The complementary, Populations Maintained (PM) indicator (left) estimates genetic diversity among populations of a species. Different populations may have different adaptive traits or properties (denoted by the different colours) that enable them to survive in their current situation, and helps the species persist in the face of environmental change. The loss of one population can therefore reduce the adaptive potential of a species. The headline indicator, Ne 500 indicator (right), estimates diversity within populations to ascertain their ability to survive in the long-term. Populations with an effective population size (Ne) less than 500 lose genetic diversity more rapidly, making them less resilient to environmental changes and more susceptible to inbreeding when compared to populations with Ne greater than 500, which are considered healthy and stable.*

Although there are no global, standardized databases for reporting the number of species’ population and their census sizes, this information is available for many species in various other sources (e.g., reports, national databases, scientific literature, government gazettes, consulting experts and knowledge holders, community science, etc.). This guidance document will help you gather and use the necessary data, from diverse sources, in a standardized way (see [Data Collection](https://aliciamstt.github.io/guidelines-genetic-diversity-indicators/docs/5_Data_collection/Data_collection.html#data-collection)).
