Importance of Earth Observation to Monitor and Assess the Drivers of Biodiversity Changes

Full title: Importance of Earth Observation to Monitor and Assess the Drivers of Biodiversity Changes | GEO BON Global Conference - October 11, 2023
The GBF stresses that nature can be conserved, restored and used sustainably if the drivers of changes (changes in land and sea use, overexploitation of natural resources, climate change, pollution and invasive alien species) and their underlying causes are properly addressed. The compounding effects of biodiversity stressors are likely to exacerbate the degradation of nature, as already seen in vulnerable ecosystems. The monitoring of these drivers is an essential component of the detection and attribution of biodiversity changes. The session will showcase and review best practice examples in the use of Earth Observations for monitoring the drivers of biodiversity changes.
