SenSPa – Sentinels for Sustainable Pasture Management

Prime company: kartECO – Environmental and Energy (GR)

Grasslands are a major part of the global ecosystem, covering 37 % of the earth’s terrestrial area. For a variety of reasons, mostly related to overgrazing and the resulting problems of soil erosion and weed encroachment, many of the world’s natural grasslands are in poor condition and showing signs of degradation. There is general agreement …

RS4EBV: Remote Sensing for Essential Biodiversity Variables (DUE Innovator III Series)

Prime company: UN WORLD CONSERVATION MONITORING CENTRE (UN-WCMC) (GB)

Biodiversity is facing a global crisis as evidenced by dramatic declines in species and habitats. Tracking the state of biodiversity requires operational monitoring systems underpinned by robust indicators. While these indicators convey invaluable information to policy makers on the status and trends of biodiversity, their use is hampered due to patchy geographical coverage of input …
