MoSTFun unites scientists, biomonitoring experts, and conservation professionals in a consortium of 10 European and North American partners. This diversity ensures that we have the diverse expertises in the team and experience with very different socio-ecological contexts. All this is needed to develop new elements of routine biodiversity monitoring programs that can readily be uptaken by stakeholders.
MoSTFun is one of the 33 projects funded in the Biodiversa+ and the European Union joint call for projects in 2022 on “Improved transnational monitoring of biodiversity and ecosystem change for science and society” (BiodivMon). Biodiversa+ is the European Biodiversity Partnership supporting excellent research on biodiversity with an impact for society and policy. This call represents a financial commitment of more than 46 million Euro from the participating countries and co-funding from the European Commission.
