INSPIRE is a Biodiversa+ funded project which aims to develop a novel decision-support framework for prioritizing conservation management efforts across terrestrial, freshwater and marine realms whilst accounting for trade-offs in multifunctional land and seascapes as well as changing environmental conditions.

​

INSPIRE further aims to integrate biodiversity conservation into key socioeconomic activities, to reconcile conservation and the sustainable use of biodiversity and ecosystem services, accounting for synergies and potential trade-offs among the multiplicity of objectives pursued. In this way, INSPIRE aims to contribute towards defining coherent and well-connected networks of areas for biodiversity management, seeking for biodiversity conservation opportunities also beyond protected areas.

Finally, INSPIRE aims to address biodiversity conservation under dynamic conditions, exploring proactive planning strategies towards a more resilient biodiversity conservation practice.
