Project overview

The Municipality of Milan has launched a pilot project for biodiversity monitoring within two important city parks: Monte Stella Park and Indro Montanelli Park. The main objective of the initiative is to monitor the effects of reduced mowing operations on the dynamics of wild pollinator populations, with a particular focus on the Apoidea and Syrphidae groups, two categories essential for the health of urban ecosystems. To support this study, four Spectrum devices have been installed, IoT bioacoustic tools that monitor the environment through the analysis of sound frequencies. These devices allow for monitoring and analyzing biodiversity in the studied areas, providing insights into the abundance of key species, such as pollinators, which are essential for the ecosystem.

Main KPIs monitored

In 2024, the Municipality of Milan launched a project to monitor the effects of reduced mowing operations on the dynamics of wild pollinator populations, with a specific focus on the Apoidea and Syrphidae groups. This initiative aims to collect fundamental data for an assessment of biodiversity, with particular attention to pollinators. To support this goal, four Spectrum devices have been installed, IoT bioacoustic devices that detect the abundance and variety of pollinators present in an area by capturing the vibrations they emit during flight. The monitoring has been carried out within two emblematic parks of the city: Monte Stella Park and Indro Montanelli Park.

Risks and impacts

Within the Monte Stella Park and the Indro Montanelli Park in the Municipality of Milan, two Spectrum devices for biodiversity monitoring have been installed in each park, covering a total of 60 hectares. These technological tools allow for environmental monitoring through the analysis of sound frequencies, enabling the detection and classification of the biodiversity of an area and identifying the presence of specific species, such as pollinating insects.
