Recording of an information session on Biodiversa+ pilots (16 December 2024)
Global change is driving significant biodiversity loss and degradation, highlighting the critical need for long-term biodiversity data to inform effective policy. However, current monitoring schemes are fragmented, with spatial, temporal, and taxonomic gaps, as well as inconsistencies in methodology and frequency.
Harmonised, transnational biodiversity monitoring is essential for data comparability and usability. Biodiversa+ pilots aim to facilitate this harmonisation by testing common protocols, new technologies, and integrated governance models. Pilots also increase data availability and address key biodiversity monitoring priorities of Biodiversa+ partners.
Rather than being research initiatives, these pilots build on existing research and outputs from other mature efforts. Implemented by national organisations responsible for existing monitoring activities, they represent the first phase in establishing transnational networks of national biodiversity monitoring programmes.
