			PANGAEA is involved in data rescue and resilience activities through emerging formal and informal collaborations. The initiative identifies datasets of '''high international value''' that may be at risk in the event of political or institutional changes.

			Rather than responding to data loss risks through reactive, ad-hoc rescue efforts, the initiative seeks to establish a '''coordinated and proactive approach to data preservation'''. A key objective is to develop '''redundant data pools''' across Europe and beyond and to promote '''“smart redundancy”''' among data infrastructures.

			By strengthening distributed data preservation, these activities aim to enhance the '''resilience of research data infrastructures''' '''and ensure long-term access to valuable scientific data'''. We contribute to the development of the '''Global Data Resilience Roadmap''' initiated by the '''American Geophysical Union''' and are actively involved in '''Data Resilience Pilots.'''
