#ConservationWorks
Meta-analysis of 186 studies, incl. 665 trials, looking at conservation interventions globally, and over time.
Encouraging data! Also highlights the need for more counterfactual studies & meta-analysis to assess conservation impact.

How to integrate stakeholder insights and fuzzy set theory to navigate biodiversity and climate challenges?
The #BiodivScen #SALBES project explores Austria’s future agriculture and food systems through participatory development of Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (AT-Agri-SSPs) 👇

#BiodivFunc ?
-PREVIEW- We’re already working on our 2025-2026 call for research. The focus will be on restoring ecosystem function, integrity & connectivity!
Details won't be available before spring 2025, but setting up a research consortium can take time – So now, you know! 😉

Have you done it yet? Opportunity to have a say on the Horizon Europe 2025 work programme.

🌱 Direct link for Cluster 6, Destination 1 - “Biodiversity and ecosystem services”:
👉 ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runne…

Thrilled to announce our latest report: explore key processes for integrating #NatureBasedSolutions knowledge into policy & practice.
Plus, success stories from funded projects!
👉 biodiversa.eu/2024/04/29/how…

📢 Survey: Do you know of any biodiversity monitoring community? (monitoring specific taxa or habitats)

We want to foster collaboration and harmonisation across communities and build more robust monitoring schemes. Help us connect the dots!
👉 biodiversa.eu/2024/04/26/sur…

❓ Want to shape the future of #NatureBasedSolutions and #EUResearch ?
🧐 Take the survey and help identify key knowledge gaps!
🗓️ Deadline: 12 May

Biodiversa+ insights at OECD with rainersodtke
Sharing knowledge & resources, international partnerships unlock solutions. But they need strong foundations (vision, trust, resources…), and challenges remain.
OECD ➡️ Better Policies for Better Lives can help bridge coms gaps among stakeholders for wider impact!

Over the years, the #LIFEprogramme has financed thousands of projects on climate and environmental issues, including #biodiversity .
It published its latest calls on 18 April: cinea.ec.europa.eu/programmes/lif…
Need some guidance? Virtual information sessions from 23 to 26 April👇

Is business as usual enough for #Biodiversity ?
BIONEXT explores connections between biodiversity, climate, food, water, energy, transport, and health to build a case for transformative change 👇

#BiodivMonTallinn buzzing with ideas!
🌎🤝📊 Another workshop is exploring the steps towards a transnational network of monitoring centres. Engaging discussions around policy and research needs, the roles of various actors, data interoperability, EBOCC, GBiOS…

After the open #BiodivMon Tallinn events of the last two days, #BiodivMon workshops underway!
Projects are brainstorming collaboration on:
• 📏 Harmonisation & standards
• 🧬 eDNA
• 🤝 Stakeholder engagement
Matchmaking & action plans in the works!

Wrapping up #BiodivMon Tallinn . That's it for this kick-off! 🙌
🙏 A big thank you to everyone who participated and followed us over these two days. We look forward to seeing the development of each #BiodivMon project!

Last panel of the day with #BioMonI , #CoForFunc , #ForBioMon , #ForestWeb30 , #GINAMO , #GRASS4FUN , #METAPLANTCODE , #MiDiPeat , #MOTIVATE .

Last chance to ask your questions!

#BiodivMonTallinn

#CoForFunc monitors tree functional diversity in Congo Basin Forests to support assessment of their vulnerability to global change. They combine repeat drone surveys of canopy tree phenology with in-situ eco-physiology measurements, and satellite remote sensing.
#BiodivMonTallin

Building on ReSurveyEurope data, #MOTIVATE combines remote sensing & modelling alongside on-ground surveys to assess plant biodiversity. Fostering knowledge exchange between stakeholders, they aim for better biodiversity data use and conservation practices.
#BiodivMonTallinn

#MiDiPeat aims to assess hidden microbial diversity in European peatlands with different land-use types, from pristine to restored, and link it to vegetation and greenhouse gases fluxes.
#BiodivMonTallinn

#METAPLANTCODE aims for the harmonisation of plant metabarcoding pipelines in Europe to support monitoring activities in the field of plants and their functional organismic networks.
