Insights into modern technologies for biodiversity monitoring

This clip provides an overview of the innovative monitoring devices used during the BioMonitor4CAP project in agricultural landscapes. It presents optical systems such as time‑lapse cameras, drones and AI‑based scanners, acoustic sensors that capture bird, insect and bat calls, and advanced eDNA methods for analysing biodiversity in environmental samples. Discover how we collect data in the field and apply cutting‑edge technologies to support sustainable agriculture.

Habitat and species diversity in EU agricultural landscapes is affected by various factors. Promoting biodiversity is one of the major challenges that requires efficient and representative strategies to monitor and visualise biodiversity changes and losses. This is where the project BioMonitor4CAP comes in.

The project aims to advance biodiversity monitoring for effective agricultural policy and transformation. It focuses on designing both simple and advanced systems to measure biodiversity in agricultural fields. By combining classical biodiversity indicator systems with new technological approaches, the project seeks to provide knowledge, methods, and tools to farmers and the interested public to boost the transformation of agricultural systems.
