NATURE FIRST: LIST OF TANGIBLE CHALLENGES TO BE ADDRESSED IN THE PROJECT

This Nature FIRST deliverable identifies and addresses key conservation challenges, including habitat and species monitoring, human-nature interactions, and human-wildlife conflicts. These challenges, derived from WP3 analyses and workshops, inform the development of proactive methods and technologies in WP4, which will be implemented in WP5 to improve conservation management in protected areas. This document also includes the milestone List of known criteria and challenges. The deliverable will be updated in April 2024 to refine challenges and solutions based on ongoing project insights.

NATURE FIRST: FEDERATED MONITORING, EVALUATION AND LEARNING

A NATURE FIRST deliverable written by by Dr. Jan-Kees Schakel from Sensing Clues.

MEL systems in the nature conservation arena are siloed and hampered by data sharing and data muddling processes that are lengthy, knowledge intensive, labour-intensive, error-prone and costly. This frustrates collaboration, innovation, and ultimately conservation. In this paper a new paradigm on MEL is presented that supports nature conservation in multi-stakeholder landscapes.

NATURE FIRST: ECOSYSTEM BASEMAPS

The "Four Ecosystem Basemaps" deliverable details methods for biodiversity assessment and monitoring in conservation areas. It includes two main methods: the Ecosystem Basemaps, which provide essential environmental input data for creating Digital Twins, risk and suitability maps, and habitat maps; and the Habitat Mapping Model, which uses Earth Observation technologies and machine learning to semi-automatically identify and map habitats of community interest. The document also includes 26 datasets to support these methods.
