"Parco delle Groane e della Brughiera Briantea & XNatura: biodiversity monitoring in a regional protected area"
The Parco delle Groane e della Brughiera Briantea, a regional protected area that hosts the last remaining broadleaf forests and heathlands classified as Sites of Community Interest (SCI), has launched a project aimed at assessing and enhancing its contribution to biodiversity conservation. In 2024, the park implemented an advanced biodiversity analysis using cutting-edge technologies, following a two-phase approach: mapping biodiversity through satellite imagery to analyze land cover and real-time monitoring of pollinators to assess their presence and activity within the ecosystem.
The first phase of the project involved a biodiversity assessment through Flora, an innovative system developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA). By analyzing satellite images and using artificial intelligence models, a large-scale mapping of biodiversity potential across different areas of the park was created. This approach allowed for the identification of the most suitable sites for field monitoring. Additionally, Flora enables continuous monitoring of vegetation dynamics, detecting any changes in ecosystems over time and providing valuable data for the conservation and management of the park's biodiversity.
XNatura’s assessment suite uses recognized protocols to rank your sites’ nature, biodiversity, and climate priority.
