Large-scale in situ biodiversity observations for better understanding of biodiversity state, drivers of its decline and impacts of policies
Funds large-scale field surveys and monitoring networks that generate the biodiversity data the EU needs to track its 2030 restoration targets.
Large-scale in situ biodiversity observations for better understanding of biodiversity state, drivers of its decline and impacts of policies is a Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action from the European Commission that funds large-scale field surveys and monitoring networks generating the biodiversity data the EU needs to track its restoration targets; companies are eligible to take part di…
The European Commission wants systematic, large-scale in-situ observation of species and habitats across terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems in the EU and Associated Countries, using harmonised, standardised protocols. It wants the resulting data to be usable for modelling — feeding directly into the companion topic on ecosystem modelling (BIODIV-05) — and to help competent authorities track progress against EU biodiversity and Nature Restoration Regulation targets.
