What do we aim at?

Biodiversa+ aims to establish a transnational network of national biodiversity monitoring schemes addressing pre-defined priorities, tightly linked to the research and innovation ecosystem while efficiently informing the policy arena. Building on national/regional monitoring schemes and capacity building for setting up new schemes, this will contribute to improving monitoring of biodiversity and ecosystem services across all land and sea habitats in Europe (status and trends).

 

To reach this goal, Biodiversa+ joins forces with EuropaBON, our key collaborator, and other key bodies (EEA, GBIF, JRC) in delineating a strategic framework that defines a common vision (end-goal) for biodiversity monitoring across Europe, as well as the major steps, collaborations and governance options to reach it.

What are our actions in the field?

Biodiversa+ is working on six main areas:
