It's time to go #BackToSchool, with nature!

🌱What's biodiversity?
🦊What exactly is a species?
🏞What's a habitat?

📍Marais de la Haute-Semois et Bois de Heinsch, in southern #Belgium 🇧🇪 at the border with #Luxembourg 🇱🇺

As part of the #Natura2000 network, this area is home to a variety of habitats, ranging from meadows 🪻 to wetlands and provides refuge for many species, including bats 🦇, birds 🐦, & invertebrates

Why is there no person or team at @DefraGovUK working specifically on grasslands, when they cover at least 40% of England?🚨

In an open letter, we're calling on the UK Gov to urgently address this & fully realise the value of grasslands now🌱

We are thrilled to take part in #BIOSPACE25❗️

@DrGeoffSmith, @BrunoCombal, & Karl Ruf (@space4env) introduced a timeline for human understanding of grasslands 🌱, the main legislations for biodiversity protection in the 🇪🇺, & the role of EO information in habitat protection 🦋

@DrGeoffSmith closed this week at #BIOSPACE25 with general conclusions of our session and recommendations to @CopernicusLand, @esa and other EO data providers 🛰

The lack of in situ data and downstream tools were identified as the main issues when monitoring 🌾 grasslands

[EU Grassland Watch @EU_Grasslands]

We’re pleased that @HumbertoDRosa1 recognised our project at #Biospace25! 🌍 In his speech, he highlighted the importance of linking EO data with on-the-ground reporting. Strengthening this connection is one of the goals of our project. 🌱 @EU_ENV

Turloughs, sometimes known as underwater meadows, are semi-natural habitats that are virtually unique to Ireland. They generally flood in winter and dry out in summer. You can visit one at Coole Park and another at the Burren National Park
