Do you ever wonder why we fail to take sufficient action against biodiversity loss and inequity, even when they threaten the very foundations of our society? Perhaps we lack the right tools. The recently launched DAISY project (DigitAl, technologIcal and Social innovation mixes enabling transformation for biodiversity and equitY) aims to fill this gap. It…
Two ambitious multi-stakeholder projects that aim to tackle the threat of invasive alien species have been launched at a conference in Europe. OneSTOP project aims to tackle the threats caused by invasive alien species (IAS) on terrestrial ecosystems, while its sister project, GuardIAS will cover marine and freshwater-related challenges, thus both of these projects will…

The Co-Bio (Co-creating Biodiversity in Urban Areas) project had its Train-the-Trainers event in Athens last month, which equipped partners with the necessary co-creation methods, mindset, tools, and insights for urban biodiversity enhancement to act as effective facilitators in their national case development process. During the event, we shared our project-related experiences, dilemmas, and methods, while…
The Co-Bio (Co-creating Biodiversity in Urban Areas) project started last October with seven partners from six countries in Europe aiming to enhance urban biodiversity through co-creation. Check out the first newsletter of the project summarising the project’s goals and activities. Currently, project partners are revealing the state-of-the-art of co-creating urban biodiversity in participant countries. For…

The Degrowth Doughnut model is…
