From space to species: Discover our September data.europa academy
webinar
The data.europa academy invites data enthusiasts, researchers,
policymakers and conservation practitioners to join the webinar 'From
space to species: using Earth Observation data for biodiversity'
[https://data.europa.eu/en/news-events/events/webinar-space-species-using-earth-observation-data-biodiversity]
on Friday, 25 September from 10:00 to 11:15 CEST. As biodiversity loss
and environmental change remain major global challenges, Earth
Observation data is becoming an increasingly important tool for
monitoring ecosystems and supporting evidence-based decision-making.
This webinar will introduce the ways satellite and geospatial data can
help transform environmental information into practical conservation
insights. 

The session will feature two leading experts in the field. Federica
Marando, Biodiversity Applications Scientist at the European Space
Agency [https://www.esa.int/], will explore the role of Earth
Observation in biodiversity data and environmental monitoring.
Participants will learn how satellite remote sensing can contribute to
biodiversity research, ecosystem restoration, protected area
management and the implementation of nature-based solutions. After
this, Matthes Rieke, Managing Director at 52°North GmbH
[https://52north.org/] will then demonstrate how innovative
technologies can help turn Earth Observation data into actionable
knowledge. 

During the webinar, participants will discover how organisations such
as openEO [https://dataspace.copernicus.eu/analyse/openeo] enable
users to analyse large volumes of Earth Observation data
efficiently. These tools help organisations and communities across
different regions and ecosystems generate insights that support
conservation efforts and informed environmental policies. The session
also highlights how open data can help bridge the gap between
scientific observations and practical action. 

Participants are encouraged to join our webinar and partake in the
discussion by engaging with our speakers. Feel free to share this
opportunity with your network and explore how data can support
biodiversity conservation.
