NATURE FIRST: ECOSYSTEM BASEMAPS
The "Four Ecosystem Basemaps" deliverable details methods for biodiversity assessment and monitoring in conservation areas. It includes two main methods: the Ecosystem Basemaps, which provide essential environmental input data for creating Digital Twins, risk and suitability maps, and habitat maps; and the Habitat Mapping Model, which uses Earth Observation technologies and machine learning to semi-automatically identify and map habitats of community interest. The document also includes 26 datasets to support these methods.
