MAMBO Project

🦋@MAMBO_EU is now on @bluesky! 🔔Follow us for updates on our work to improve #biodiversity monitoring across Europe. 👉Find us here: bsky.app/profile/mambo-… #HorizonEurope #EU #Biodiversity

📢 MAMBO has been featured in a CORDIS Results Pack! The pack highlights 12 EU-funded Horizon Europe projects developing cutting-edge technologies to improve how we monitor and assess biodiversity across Europe. Find the pack here: cordis.europa.eu/article/id/464…

🐝 AMI-trap is a light-trap system that monitors nocturnal pollinators with minimal human intervention. Its components allow it to attract and to identify species, even in challenging environments. Read about the tool and explore all #MAMBOtechnologies: mambo-project.eu/technologies

🔎 Learn how #MAMBOtechnologies are reshaping biodiversity monitoring! Our new campaign will present the technologies developed throughout the project that allow scientists to collect more accurate and large-scale data, allowing for an improved understanding of our ecosystems.

🌿 We need your input to shape the future of biodiversity monitoring! The MAMBO project is running a series of surveys to understand what incentives and barriers exist around the use of the project's developed tools for biodiversity monitoring. Find all surveys in the thread👇

🇪🇺 MAMBO spotted in Freiburg, Turin, Brussels and Lund! 🐝 Our latest policy brief has been travelling across Europe, joining meetings of pollinator projects AGRI4POL, Safeguard, WildPosh and PollinERA. 🔗 Find MAMBO's policy briefs here: mambo-project.eu/media-center/p… #MAMBOtravels

🔎 Technology deployed: Light trap (AMI-trap), pollinator camera Discover all of the #MAMBOdemonstrationsites here: mambo-project.eu/pilots

🇳🇱 At the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen, MAMBO tools are tested for species identification. The site allows the project to evaluate how monitoring technologies perform in a dynamic coastal dune system influenced by both natural processes and water management activities.

🌿 What does biodiversity monitoring look like in practice? From #MAMBO, we just released an interview with Xavier Fortuny, site manager of the Bagnas National Nature Reserve. Watch the #MAMBOinterview 👉 youtube.com/watch?v=p0vWO4… #MAMBOdemonstrationsites #biodiversitymonitoring

👇 Discover the Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen #MAMBOdemonstrationsite - a unique coastal dune nature reserve where drinking water production and nature conservation go hand in hand. Its varied dune habitats support high biodiversity. 🔗 awd.waternet.nl

🇳🇱 At Oostvaardersplassen, MAMBO tools are tested for habitat condition mapping from remote sensing. These activities help assess how remote monitoring technologies perform in extensive wetland ecosystems that are shaped by natural dynamics and large herbivores.

#Monitoring is needed to track changes in biodiversity and support nature conservation efforts. 🪲 Researchers propose a roadmap for improving Europe’s biodiversity monitoring system 🇪🇺 A new article in @NatRevBiodiv Nature Reviews Biodiversity outlines a blueprint for a coordinated European biodiversity observation system, which aims to transform how we track and understand biodiversity change across the continent. By aligning diverse data streams — from field surveys and remote sensing to genomics and sensor networks — and identifying Essential Biodiversity Variables, this roadmap moves Europe closer to a truly integrated, transnational monitoring system for #biodiversity 🦉🦋🐿️🌿🍄 🔹 A harmonised system connecting monitoring efforts across countries and ecosystems 🔹 84 Essential Biodiversity Variables for consistent measurement 🔹 Establishment of a proposed European Biodiversity Observation Coordination Centre (EBOCC) to drive data integration and provide key information for decision-making.

🗓️ A 3-day #MAMBOworkshop is swiftly approaching! The technical training workshop will focus on the large-scale and scalable processing of airborne LiDAR for vegetation structure analysis. 🔗 Find more information here: mambo-project.eu/events/worksho…

🇲🇹 The AMI-trap consists of UV and white lights that attract and photograph nocturnal insects, featuring high-capacity data storage to collate images over extended periods. Due to the saline marshlands attracting Lepidoptera, Il-Magħluq ta’ Marsaskala is great for its deployment.

AudioMoth is an acoustic recording device that captures sounds from the surrounding environment and applies recognition models to identify species. Xrobb l-Għaġin Nature Park was selected for the use of the technology due to the abundance of Acrididae species in the area.

💡 As part of the MAMBO project, pollinator cameras were deployed at the Majjistral Nature and History Park, since the site has an abundance of flowering plants typical of Mediterranean garrigue habitat. 🔎 Technology deployed: Pollinator cameras

🇲🇹 Majjistral National Park is located in Mellieħa, Malta, and protects a 6-kilometre stretch of coastline designated as a Special Area of Conservation within the Natura 2000 network. Its habitats support endemic and rare plant and animal species. 🔗 mambo-project.eu/pilots
