Biodiversity Multi-Source Monitoring System: From Space To Species (BIO_SOS)

In the European Union (EU) there is a legal obligation for EU Member States to report every 6 years on conservation status and trends of species and habitats of European importance, through the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) and the Birds Directive (79/409/EEC), following standardized assessments of conservation status and implementing monitoring schemes to show trends in status between the six-year reporting intervals.
