Imagine Europe as a giant puzzle where nature's pieces are scattered and disconnected. This work creates a master map to link these pieces back together, making sure animals and plants have safe corridors to move and survive. It's like designing a high-speed rail network, but for wildlife and ecosystems instead of trains.
Companies and governments struggle to identify which specific land areas provide the most ecological value for conservation. This leads to inefficient land use and failure to meet strict EU biodiversity targets.
A set of 150 spatial maps and analytical tools that identify priority areas for nature protection and restoration at a 1-km resolution.
If you are a consultancy dealing with complex land-use permits — this project developed 150 spatial variants and prioritization tools that help identify the best locations for nature restoration to meet EU targets.
If you are a construction firm dealing with biodiversity offset requirements — this project developed a blueprint for ecological corridors that helps align project sites with the Trans-European Nature Network.
If you are a land manager dealing with new EU biodiversity regulations — this project developed data on ecosystem services and connectivity that helps optimize land use for both production and conservation.
Based on available project data, no pricing or commercial cost structure is mentioned as the project is funded by HORIZON-IA.
The project operates at a European scale, producing spatial variants at a 1-km resolution across 13 countries, indicating high scalability for regional planning.
Based on available project data, specific IP or licensing agreements are not listed; however, it is designed to provide support tools for the European Commission and Member States.
It directly supports the EU 2030 Biodiversity Strategy, specifically the goal to protect 30% of land and inland waters.
The project runs from 2022-07-01 to 2026-09-30, meaning tools are currently in development and testing phases.
The consortium is heavily research-oriented, consisting of 22 partners from 13 countries. It is dominated by universities (8) and research organizations (6), with 8 other entities (mostly NGOs). There is a significant lack of private sector involvement, with 0 industrial partners and only 3 SMEs, suggesting the output is currently a scientific tool rather than a commercial product.
