MAMBO Legacy Booklet MAMBO Background Advancements in technology have evolved to an extent where it is now possible toidentify organisms remotely from digital data such as images or sound. Together withnew tools in the realm of high spatial resolution remote sensing these tools have thepotential to greatly enrich traditional approaches to ecological monitoring.Biodiversity in Europe is under pressure and efficient monitoring approaches areneeded as part of efforts to improve conservation status of species and habitats.This is why MAMBO’s work programme aims to provide the knowledge, tools andinfrastructure for monitoring species and their habitats more comprehensively. Theproject has developed novel monitoring tools that will enhance knowledge of the stateof biodiversity in Europe. Through its demonstration sites, MAMBO has showcased theeffectiveness and added value of its new technologies.Automated biodiversity monitoring allows for expanding the resolution and extent ofdata and can lead to novel ecological insights. MAMBO has the potential to significantlyimprove the ecological monitoring landscape in Europe and beyond and in that way,contribute to the aims of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030.
