EO tools for the management of Mediterranean wetlands

The outreach team of H2020 Project ECOPOTENTIAL has produced this handcrafted video, which explains the project through simple animations. The story involves Peter, a protected area manager, and Amy, an ECOPOTENTIAL scientist. The video will take you on a journey through the different ecosystems targeted by ECOPOTENTIAL, explain why and how Earth Observation is used to measure and monitor ecosystems and their services they provide, and how the project will ultimately benefit society.

The Spatial Ecology Group is one of the research groups of EBD participating in the project. Within the project, we will use participatory modelling to support the development of EO tools for the management of Mediterranean wetlands - applied, in particular, to the Doñana marshes.
