The platform Puzzling Biodiversity is OPEN !

Field margins, reducing pesticides, diversification of tree species, set-aside forest … which practices are the most effective for biodiversity enhancement? Does a consensus between experts exist? You may have part of the answer!

Since January 2024, a scientific consortium composed of the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (MNHN) (The French National Natural History Museum), the Fondation pour la recherche sur la biodiversité (FRB) (French Biodiversity Research Foundation) and Carbone 4 is working on the development of a new tool for biodiversity projects evaluation based on the first biodiversity-friendly practices rankings achieved thanks to expert consultation and consensus building.

You are an experienced ecologist currently working in the biodiversity and environment sector (academic research, private company, nature management and conservation…)? You have an opinion on biodiversity-friendly practices efficiency in forest management or agriculture in temperate climate of Western Europe ? Work out your own ranking of biodiversity-friendly practices on the Puzzling Biodiversity platform.

Puzzling Biodiversity is a platform specifically design to allow you to share your expertise. Thanks to your contribution, we will be able to test the degree of consensus between experts and attempt to publish a reference ranking of biodiversity-friendly practices in open access that could change the game in assessment tools currently available.

The platform especially design to provide the most fluid experience for users will allow you to produce quality data based on your knowledge, skills and intuition. More than just an online form to fill out Puzzling Biodiversity is built to look like a real personal work space available until the 30th of June 2025 meaning the end of this first experimentation.

It’s now your turn to act !
The most people will contribute, the stronger the results will be ! Thank you for sharing the news as widely as possible through your networks …
