#MAMBOworkpackages

💡 The fourth MAMBO work package aims to develop consistent and standardised habitat condition metrics using state-of-the-art drone imagery or airborne LiDAR and integrating the data into a deep learning framework.

WP4 is led by @ukceh.bsky.social.

#MAMBOworkpackages

💡 Can drone-based observations provide a viable solution for monitoring habitats? From #MAMBO, we invite you to a webinar that will give insights into how to achieve quality drone data collection under resource constraints.

#MAMBOwebinars

⭐️ The fifth MAMBO work package trials and evaluates MAMBO’s tools (developed in WP3 and WP4) in the field and within stakeholder networks and user platforms (identified in WP1) in the seven demonstration sites of the project.

WP5 is led by @cirad.bsky.social.

#MAMBOworkpackages

🦕 The third #MAMBOagm concluded with an insightful visit to @naturalis.bsky.social!

Our partners had the chance to explore the museum, step into the collection labs and even come face to face with a T.rex.

A big thank you to Naturalis for the warm welcome and for hosting our meeting!

#MAMBOmeets

The second day of #MAMBOagm concluded with presentations covering the topics of:
⏺ Code for easy access and training on GitHub
⏺ Chatting up to models, large language models in biodiversity research
⏺ Impact of image recognition on biodiversity data

#MAMBOmeets

France Gerard presented an overview of the developments of MAMBO's products on airborne LiDAR and drone imagery for habitat condition monitoring.

#MAMBOagm #MAMBOmeets

As part of the session, Niels Raes provided links to future initiatives, Pierre Bonnet talked about lessons learned from demonstration sites, Daniel Kissling focused on upscaling and Tom Breeze covered cost effectiveness.

👀 Pierre Bonnet provided an overview of the tools for plant vegetation monitoring and the key problems they aim to solve. He also identified the end-user communities of the tools and highlighted the importance of acknowledging community-specific needs.

🌿 Pierre Bonnet from @cirad.bsky.social took the stage with information related to MAMBO's demonstration sites and what is being learned from them.

#MAMBOagm #MAMBOmeets

🌿 MAMBO's 3rd annual general meeting just started with a warm welcome in Leiden!
Over the next couple of days, partners will gather in Hortus Botanicus to present and discuss the development of project products. Stay tuned for live updates!
#MAMBOagm #MAMBOmeets

🤝 Niels Raes from WP3 and @bmd-project.eu coordinator led a presentation that provided an overview of the products developed since the start of MAMBO. He emphasised their reliance on EU-related biodiversity and remote sensing data platforms and provided links to relevant EU projects.

#MAMBOagm

🗣️ The day continues with MAMBO partners presenting in detail the WP3 tools and an overview of the developments needed during the remainder of the project.
#MAMBOagm #MAMBOmeets

Jes Harfeld from WP9 covered the ethics behind MAMBO products, sparking a lively discussion among project partners in relation to the relationships between humans and nature and how increased technological mediation might change this.

#MAMBOagm #MAMBOmeets

During a break from MAMBO product presentations, Tom August from @ukceh.bsky.social made a demonstration of the camera for monitoring nocturnal flying insect activity to MAMBO partners.

#MAMBOagm #MAMBOmeets

Oliver Schweiger provided input from WP6 by covering the topic of upscaling, cost and benefits of the different MAMBO products.

#MAMBOagm #MAMBOmeets

Partners joined to further discuss the developments needed, ethical questions surrounding the development, linking with existing and future initiatives, identifying what is being learned from demonstration sites and a talk related to upscaling, cost & benefits.

#MAMBOagm #MAMBOmeets

📢 Day 2 of #MAMBOagm started with a presentation on the project’s products, building image and sound recognition for European species and making them available to European citizen scientists.

#MAMBOmeets

💡 Day 1 of #MAMBOagm began with a presentation by Christophe Botella on MAMBO's products related to distribution and satellite data for habitat extent monitoring.

Thanks :)

Adding grazers to Hawaii destroyed most of the endemic woodland and associated species. Look at Palila and Mamane. Rewilding should be tailored to the context of what was once wild. In the case of Hawaii that would be removing grazers and halting the artificial fire regime.

Over the last few years I have written a review of a particular genus of insect (not shown). Its a tiny bit over 20,000 words. I'm not likely to get an invite from Annual Review of Entomology (the 3rd & last author are big enough names). Any suggestions as to where to submit it?

A brilliant blog post written by my colleague @rowankuminski.bsky.social for the British Ecological Society on being a trans ally this #transawarenessweek

That makes more sense :) Although I can also see where simply publishing the code without adequately description in the paper could also be annoying.

I have really missed Twitter (as it was). I am feeling quite emotional and optimistic about us rebuilding our community.

Hi @DaveGoulson #foredraglive,

Does "sustainable intensification" go hand in hand with #rewilding, as oxymoronic as the term sounds?
