NATURE FIRST: STATE OF PLAY POLICY BRIEF
This policy brief presents the Nature FIRST Value Propositions (VPs)—a structured approach to identifying and addressing key conservation challenges through innovative technologies. It details how the project assessed problems, objectives, and needs across four European protected areas and prioritized 45 VPs for tackling human-wildlife conflict, poaching, habitat degradation, and species management. The document explains the methodology used to develop these solutions, their integration into conservation practices, and their alignment with EU policies. It also identifies gaps and limitations, offering recommendations for future biodiversity monitoring and management.
