Parco Nazionale del Vesuvio
"Parco Nazionale del Vesuvio & XNatura: monitoring biodiversity in an area rich in flora and fauna, the result of special volcanic activity"
Project overview
Parco Nazionale del Vesuvio covers an area rich in biodiversity, due to its special volcanic activity that has created a unique environment for flora and fauna. Officially established on June 5, 1995, the park aims to conserve animal and plant species, geological and paleontological formations, and to protect the natural processes and ecological balances of the Vesuvian territory. In line with the goal of enhancing and preserving this natural heritage, in 2024 the park launched a project to assess its contribution to biodiversity protection, using state-of-the-art technologies. The project consists of two main phases: biodiversity mapping through satellite imagery and real-time monitoring of wild pollinators.
Main phases of the project
The first phase of the project involved an assessment of biodiversity using Flora, an innovative system developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). Through the analysis of satellite images and the use of artificial intelligence models, it was possible to obtain large-scale mapping of biodiversity potential in different areas of the Park. This approach made it possible to identify the most suitable sites for field monitoring. In addition, Flora allows continuous monitoring of vegetation dynamics, detecting any changes in ecosystems over time and providing valuable data for the protection and management of the Park's biodiversity.
