A large-scale biodiversity assessment
A large-scale biodiversity assessment is a comprehensive study that examines the variety and abundance of species across a broad area, such as a country or continent. It helps scientists understand how different plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms are distributed, how healthy ecosystems are, and where conservation efforts are needed. This process involves collecting data from multiple sources, like field surveys, satellite images, and existing records, to create a detailed picture of life in that region. The goal is to support sustainable management and protect biodiversity for future generations.
