Intro and Demo of Solutions for Biodiversity Monitoring

Join our online demo

Join an online session where we will showcase the achievements, solutions, and technologies of Nature FIRST, a project focused on biodiversity preservation. Our goal is to gather feedback from key stakeholders in the ecosystem, as they are the future users of our technology.
The session will begin with an introduction to the project, followed by a demonstration of our achievements and solutions.

After the demonstrations, we will open the floor to a Q&A session where you can ask questions and provide feedback. We hope to start a discussion about the ongoing challenges in biodiversity preservation and gather insights from key players in the field.
The session will take place on April 26, 14:00 CET. We look forward to your participation and contribution to this vital discussion. Please let us know if you can join by completing the form below. After completing the form, you will receive a link for the session!

About Nature FIRST

As a Horizon Europe project funded by the European Commission, Nature FIRST is developing predictive, proactive, and preventative tools for nature conservation.

Stay tuned to learn more about how we combine forensic intelligence, remote sensing technologies and digital twins to protect and restore biodiversity in Europe and beyond. The tools we are developing are tested and demonstrated in the following regions:

• The Carpathian Mountains, a 1,500 km-long range in Central and Eastern Europe.

• The Danube Delta River is Europe’s largest remaining natural wetland. The more significant part of the Danube Delta lies in Romania, and a small part is in Ukraine.

• The Stara Planina Mountains are a mountain range in the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula.

• And the Ancares y O Courel, the largest green reserve in Galicia, Spain.

training and support in Burkina Faso

Since a few months, Sensing Clues has partnered up with Chengeta Wildlife and the CWTI to tackle incredibly hard wildlife conservation problems in an area rigged by conflicts.

Read more about Chengeta Wildlife and CWTI in a blog post from ESRI, another valued partner of ours.

“When we deal with a problem in a given area, analytics and actionable intelligence inform our planning, coordination, and execution of missions,” Young said. “Improving the technology allows for improved command and control.”

Services that Sensing Clues is providing include:

• Conducting Foundational Analysis to provide Anti-Poaching Units with a head-start

• Training and mentoring analysts to conduct such analytics on their own

• Training and mentoring law enforcement and criminal investigations principles and (judicial) processes

• Training APU-members and analysts in data collection methods and tools

• Supporting them with the tools to conduct their work efficiently and effectively
