01
Monitoring ecological dynamics
To document changes in species distribution, populations and ecological interactions in response to environmental and land-use change.
Our Approach
Observe. Understand. Act.
Science grounded in local realities helps us understand how nature is changing and supports land users in adapting their practices.
02
Developing methods adapted to local contexts
To develop monitoring protocols and biodiversity indicators that make the ecological effects of land-use practices visible and measurable, while addressing locally relevant questions.
03
Serving as a science & society interface
To bring together scientific evidence, local knowledge and different perspectives, supporting informed discussion and decision-making among researchers, land users, institutions and citizens.
Manifesto
Knowledge must be rooted in places.
Confronting climate change and ecological disruption requires us to rethink how knowledge is produced, shared and used. Researchers, educators, land users and other knowledge holders need to work together across disciplines and territories, making science accessible, relevant and connected to realities on the ground.
Ecosystems, species and communities respond differently to environmental change, and robust local scientific data allow us to understand these differences and follow how they evolve over time. This knowledge can support informed decisions and adaptation to a changing climate.
QUYFIN, the Research Observatory on Biodiversity Dynamics, was created to connect researchers and land users, bringing scientific research closer to local questions and observations, and supporting actions that strengthen nature’s capacity to adapt.
