The event was generously hosted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idiv.de\/en\/index.html\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.idiv.de\/en\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig<\/a>, under the theme, &#8220;The Future of Biodiversity \u2013 overcoming barriers of taxa, realms, and scales.&#8221; The gathering attracted a remarkable turnout, with more than 1,100 participants hailing from approximately 30 different countries. It was a testament to the global significance of biodiversity conservation and research. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EuropaBON took the stage prominently by organising a dedicated session on the Future of Biodiversity. This session saw active participation from EuropaBON&#8217;s coordinator, Henrique Pereira (iDiv), and project partners amongst whom Aletta Bonn (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ufz.de\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.ufz.de\/\" target=\"_blank\">UfZ<\/a>), W.

Together, they presented various facets of the EuropaBON project and outlined the project efforts directed toward the establishment of a comprehensive European-wide biodiversity observation network, underlining its pivotal importance in the context of the ever-evolving ecological landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/europabon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dae310ae-aa9e-4e25-a879-7a2df5231b53-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3190\" style=\"width:444px;height:333px\" width=\"444\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/europabon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dae310ae-aa9e-4e25-a879-7a2df5231b53-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/europabon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dae310ae-aa9e-4e25-a879-7a2df5231b53-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/europabon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dae310ae-aa9e-4e25-a879-7a2df5231b53-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/europabon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dae310ae-aa9e-4e25-a879-7a2df5231b53-1600x1200.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/europabon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dae310ae-aa9e-4e25-a879-7a2df5231b53-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/europabon.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/dae310ae-aa9e-4e25-a879-7a2df5231b53.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 444px) 100vw, 444px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>EuropaBON was also among the EU-funded projects showcased at the exhibitors\u2019 booths at the Gf\u00d6 Annual Meeting.
