"Biodiversity is deteriorating rapidly in Europe and across the globe. There is, however, enormous untapped potential in the use of data and digital solutions to protect our natural resources.
Digital solutions have already proven to be extremely useful in monitoring biodiversity worldwide for decades. Going forward, technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of things can further improve the data management needed for monitoring, decision-making and law enforcement. They can also help green human activities, raise awareness about biodiversity-related challenges and encourage citizens to support necessary measures."
