Description du projet
Nouveaux outils de surveillance de la biodiversité
En Europe, la surveillance de la faune est fragmentée à la fois temporellement et spatialement, elle est biaisée sur le plan taxonomique et souffre d’un manque d’intégration. Tous ces facteurs entravent la mise en œuvre de la stratégie de l’UE en faveur de la biodiversité à l’horizon 2030 et des directives «Oiseaux» et «Habitats». Le projet MAMBO, financé par l’UE, élaborera, testera et mettra en œuvre de nouveaux outils permettant d’assurer une surveillance rentable de l’état de conservation et des exigences écologiques des espèces et des habitats protégés. MAMBO combinera l’expertise technique de l’informatique, de la télédétection, des compétences en sciences sociales concernant les interactions homme-technologie, de l’économie environnementale, de la science citoyenne et des connaissances biologique sur les espèces, l’écologie et la biologie de la conservation. Le projet associera les parties prenantes à l’identification des besoins de surveillance de la biodiversité et planchera sur la mise en place d’un laboratoire virtuel pour automatiser le déploiement du flux de travail et le traitement efficace des énormes flux de données.
Objectif
EU policies, such as the EU biodiversity strategy 2030 and the Birds and Habitats Directives, demand unbiased, integrated and regularly updated biodiversity and ecosystem service data. However, efforts to monitor wildlife and other species groups are spatially and temporally fragmented, taxonomically biased, and lack integration in Europe. To bridge this gap, the MAMBO project will develop, test and implement enabling tools for monitoring conservation status and ecological requirements of species and habitats for which knowledge gaps still exist. MAMBO brings together the technical expertise of computer science, remote sensing, social science expertise on human-technology interactions, environmental economy, and citizen science, with the biological expertise on species, ecology, and conservation biology. MAMBO is built around stakeholder engagement and knowledge exchange (WP1) and the integration of new technology with existing research infrastructures (WP2). MAMBO will develop, test, and demonstrate new tools for monitoring species (WP3) and habitats (WP4) in a co-design process to create novel standards for species and habitat monitoring across the EU and beyond. MAMBO will work with stakeholders to identify user and policy needs for biodiversity monitoring and investigate the requirements for setting up a virtual lab to automate workflow deployment and efficient computing of the vast data streams (from on the ground sensors, and remote sensing) required to improve monitoring activities across Europe (WP4). Together with stakeholders, MAMBO will assess these new tools at demonstration sites distributed across Europe (WP5) to identify bottlenecks, analyze the cost-effectiveness of different tools, integrate data streams and upscale results (WP6). This will feed into the co-design of future, improved and more cost-effective monitoring schemes for species and habitats using novel technologies (WP7), and thus lead to a better management of protected sites and species.
