The BMD Single Access Point (SAP)<\/strong> is the central digital platform of the Biodiversity Meets Data (BMD) project. It offers a unified entry point for accessing tools, workflows, and data related to high-throughput biodiversity monitoring, FAIR data publication, advanced analytical environments, and geospatial visualisation.<\/p>\n Designed with and for end-users such as scientists, site managers, policymakers, and restoration planners, the SAP enables evidence-based decision-making across marine, terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. It integrates cutting-edge monitoring technologies with data harmonisation and modelling tools, helping to support the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030 and the Nature Restoration Law.<\/p>\n We are a multidisciplinary team of researchers, developers, and biodiversity experts working under the BMD project consortium<\/strong>, which brings together leading institutions across Europe. Our expertise spans ecology, environmental monitoring, remote sensing, data science, artificial intelligence, and policy development.<\/p>\n Together, we aim to bridge the gap between complex biodiversity data and practical conservation needs by building a robust, user-friendly, and FAIR-compliant digital infrastructure.<\/p>\n Biodiversity Meets Data (BMD)<\/strong> is a Horizon Europe-funded project that aims to build a cross-cutting platform for biodiversity monitoring, data standardisation, and ecosystem modelling. The project focuses on:<\/p>\n Developing and validating high-throughput biodiversity monitoring tools (eDNA, camera traps, acoustic devices)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Mobilising and FAIR-ifying baseline and historical biodiversity data<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Enabling Virtual Research Environments (VREs) for scenario analysis and restoration planning<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Supporting the design, expansion, and management of protected areas across Europe<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n The project aligns with the EU\u2019s Green Deal and contributes directly to the implementation of the Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the Nature Restoration Law.<\/p>\n This website is managed and maintained by members of the BMD project consortium.
