Parco della Valle del Lambro
"Parco della Valle del Lambro & XNatura: monitoring biodiversity in an area spanning the provinces of Monza and Brianza, Como and Lecco"
Project overview
The Lambro Valley Park covers an area of more than 8,000 hectares spanning three provinces - Monza and Brianza, Como and Lecco - and involving 35 municipalities. In line with the goal of enhancing and preserving this natural heritage, in 2024 the Park launched a project aimed at assessing and enhancing its contribution to biodiversity protection through an advanced analysis made possible through the use of state-of-the-art technologies, with an approach divided into two main phases: biodiversity mapping using satellite images to analyze land cover and real-time monitoring of 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.
