Imagine having a high-tech map that tells you exactly where birds want to live on your land. It uses satellite photos to see if the environment is healthy and suggests the best ways to fix it without spending too much money. It's like a GPS for nature restoration that helps farmers and governments work together.
Farmers struggle to balance the cost of greening measures with the actual ecological needs of bird species. Meanwhile, policy-makers lack precise, parcel-level data to verify if biodiversity funds are achieving their goals.
A web-based application featuring a species distribution model, satellite-based geospatial indicators, and a land-use allocation algorithm to optimize greening measures.
If you are a software provider dealing with the need for ecological reporting — this project developed a web-based service that identifies the best greening measures for individual parcels. It helps users balance bird habitat needs with their own budget and operational limits.
If you are a consultant dealing with complex EU biodiversity regulations — this project developed a monitoring tool using Copernicus satellites that evaluates habitat suitability. It provides data-driven indicators to prove compliance with national and EU rules.
If you are a government agency dealing with the distribution of CAP funds — this project developed a regional scale tool to compare implemented measures against actual habitat state. This ensures financial aid for sustainable farming is evidence-based.
Based on available project data, the service is intended to be freely accessible to various users and the interested public.
Yes, the tool is designed to work from the scale of an individual farmland parcel up to landscape and national scales.
Based on available project data, specific licensing terms are not mentioned, but the service aims to be freely accessible.
It supports the European Green Deal, Farm to Fork, and the EU's biodiversity strategy for 2030 by monitoring compliance with biodiversity regulations.
Access to the monitoring and optimization service is provided via a web-based application.
The consortium is lean and balanced with 8 partners across 5 countries. It shows a strong commercial orientation with a 38% industry ratio, including 2 SMEs, which suggests the project is focused on practical application rather than just academic research.
