BUSHINFO - Implementation of a nationwide spatial tool to monitor the evolution of invasive species and their collection as part of the installation of a biomass power plant
Main goals
Carrying out a diagnostic to understand the existing Bush Information System (BIS), followed by a second phase of desk work involving an examination of similar tools (benchmarking), matching needs with the components of the tool (design).
Later, a phase of recommendations for updating the BIS, including capacity building and the development of spatial indicators, will be implemented. Finally, during the field mission, a stakeholders' round table will be organised to identify together the needs of the sector for the BIS and thus co-construct a relevant tool.
Specific objectives
SO1. Diagnosis of the existing BIS
SO2. Capacity building
SO3. Production of a dynamic biomass indicator
SO4. Development or updating of the new BIS
SO5. Transfer and training in the new BIS
