2. ECOPOTENTIAL Objectives
Making Earth Observation and Monitoring Data usable for ecosystem modelling and services
ECOPOTENTIAL (H2020; ) aims at creating a unified framework for ecosystem studies and management of protected areas (PA).
Focus on internationally recognized PAs in Europe and beyond in a wide range of biogeographic regions
Best use of Earth Observation (EO) and monitoring data through new EO ecosystem data services
Support of modelling approaches including information from EO data
Open and interoperable access to data and knowledge through a GEO Ecosystem Virtual Laboratory Platform, fully integrated in GEOSS.
14.2 By 2020, sustainably manage and protect marine and coastal ecosystems to avoid significant adverse impacts, including by strengthening their resilience, and take action for their restoration in order to achieve healthy and productive oceans
6.6 By 2020, protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes
Goal 15. Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
