The Biodiversity Analyst is a tool for facilitating analyses and identification of areas with high conservation values in support of decision making.  To watch this event remotely, please click the green "ONSITE & LIVESTREAMED" button.
HideDescripción
Protected Areas only partly cover important sites for biodiversity and are not yet fully ecologically representative and effectively or equitably managed. Improvement of the existing networks and further expansion of conservation areas will therefore require well-defined baselines that are comparable across countries for actions prioritisation. In recent years the availability of new earth observation imagery and advances in analysis and processing have significantly improved our capabilities in terms of mapping and monitoring biodiversity variables and ecosystem services. This event will introduce the Biodiversity Analyst, a tool for identifying areas of potentially high conservation value based on the available datasets such as species distribution and ecosystems services, while concurrently providing decision makers with means to weight priorities in support to conservation.  SPEAKERS: Luca Battistella, Stephen Peedell
