How should we monitor biodiversity quickly, affordably, inclusively, and in detail, with limited resources? This challenge is especially tricky for a more hidden and harder to study piece of biodiversity – genetic diversity. But we are making progress.
Readily available satellite Earth observations allow us to assess key genetic diversity metrics at landscape level, worldwide: As part of the Genes from Space project we have integrated Earth observations data into a platform that makes them accessible to anyone interested in calculating genetic diversity indicators for assessment, monitoring and restoration of species around the world – without requiring any programming skills or genetic data. This innovative methodology kicked off with a hackathon-style workshop held on 22 January in Bern, Switzerland, attended by more than 100 scientists and practitioners from 30 countries around the world.
