Geodiversity is the abiotic diversity of Earth, i.e. the variety of ​​minerals, rocks, fossils, soils, sediments, landforms, topography and hydrological features such as rivers and lakes. It is a part of human's lives as it is geodiversity which empowers progress and technological revolutions, provides raw materials and energy sources and far more.

Predictive data is prevalent across industries and disciplines, and it plays an important role in nature conservation and the prevention of biodiversity loss. By analysing and predicting patterns and trends in wildlife populations and habitats, we can make more informed decisions about how to protect and preserve natural resources. But how does it actually work? In this blog post, we explore the role of predictive data in nature conservation, and why it’s a key element for Nature FIRST.

Last year ended with a historical deal on preserving biodiversity. COP15 leaders signed the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework that should help to protect 30% of the planet and 30% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. Why was it difficult to agree? What are the main targets? How will the progress be monitored? Read the article to find out.

Natura 2000 is the largest coordinated network of protected areas in the world, covering over 18% of the EU land area and more than 8% of its sea territory. With biodiversity declining throughout the world, these sites offer a haven to Europe’s threatened species and habitats. Join us to explore the history of Natura 2000, why it is so important, what it has achieved so far and how it relates to the Nature FIRST project.
