As climate change and other pressures from human activity drive biodiversity loss even further, there is a definite need to be able to assess and define the extent of the harm done. With biodiversity being necessary for natural processes that support life on Earth, and with healthy ecosystems relying on the abundance of a wide range of flora and fauna in the environment, we need to be able to see how these systems are affected across the many different ecosystems- including inland waters which provide key ecosystem services related to water.
For our eighth webinar, we will be looking at the ways that Copernicus services are being used to monitor biodiversity in inland waters.
