Project description
Co-creating tools to help prioritise conservation efforts in biodiversity hotspots
Europe’s marine biodiversity is under pressure. Putting it on a path to recovery by 2030 requires informed science advice and operational decision-support tools. In this context, the EU-funded B USEFUL project will develop user-oriented tools and solutions to monitor, assess and protect marine biodiversity. Specifically, it will improve existing European data infrastructures and governance frameworks. To do so, it will first identify end-user needs and work with experts to co-develop biodiversity indicators, targets and scenarios. The project will also carry out model forecasts of changes in biodiversity and ecosystem services. The support tools will assist end users in prioritising conservation efforts in biodiversity hotspots, or other high-risk areas requiring a stricter degree of protection.
