GEF benefits index for biodiversity is a composite index of relative biodiversity potential for each country based on the species represented in each country, their threat status, and the diversity of habitat types in each country.

The index value 0 means no biodiversity potential and 100 implies maximum biodiversity potential. Countries like Singapore and United Kingdom have low biodiversity potential. On the other hand places like Brazil and US have high potential. India is also one of the twelve mega biodiversity regions of the world.

The United Nations Environment Programme has launched the 2010 Biodiversity Indicators Partnership to develop biodiversity indicators and track biodiversity loss.
