Ecological monitoring
About this expertise
In short- Advanced ecological monitoring systems
- Combining fieldwork and technology
- Reliable data for policy and management
- Insights into trends and recovery
- Monitoring for forward-looking action
Ecological monitoring provides insight into the state and development of ecosystems, species and processes – forming the basis for effective conservation, restoration and sustainable management.
At Wageningen University & Research, we develop advanced ecological monitoring systems that reliably track changes in biodiversity, ecosystems and landscapes. We combine traditional field observations with innovative technologies such as drones, sensors, DNA analysis and integrated data platforms.
Our experts translate monitoring data into actionable insights for policy and management. This supports governments, businesses and environmental organizations in evaluating measures, identifying trends and steering adaptively towards nature restoration, sustainable land use and water quality improvement. In this way, monitoring becomes a powerful tool for accountability and forward-looking decision-making.
