Welcome to more4nature

Reversing the trend in environmental degradation through collaboration of Citizen Science initiatives with authorities.

more4nature aim

more4nature aims to bring about transformative change in environmental protection by including citizens and communities as key actors in collaborative environmental compliance assurance.

Thematic areas

The more4nature activities are focused on three key thematic areas in environmental protection:

  • Zero Pollution

    Clean rivers, lakes, oceans, soils, and skies are the basic building blocks of healthy ecosystems and communities. In this theme, more4nature explores how citizen science can help monitor, promote, and enforce current policies to prevent air, water, and plastic pollution.

  • Biodiversity protection

    Thriving wildlife and resilient ecosystems sustain the diversity of life on our planet. In this theme, more4nature explores how citizen science can help by promoting compliance with policies that protect species and ecosystem diversity and monitoring policy effectiveness.

  • Deforestation prevention

    Deforestation and forest degradation aggravates climate change and the loss of biodiversity. The main driver of deforestation is the expansion of agricultural land, and the EU is responsible for about 20% of deforestation and forest degradation worldwide mainly through imports of agricultural products. In this theme, more4nature explores how citizen generated data can best support deforestation-free imports and the implementation of complementary international agreements by ensuring uptake of relevant citizen generated data in compliance assurance.

Our mission and strategy

We aim to strengthen collaboration and partnerships between citizen science initiatives and local, regional and even national authorities in charge of environmental compliance assurance and we are achieving it via three main paths:

Unlocking the Potential of Citizen Science

Citizen Science is an untapped asset for many authorities and governance. We are working to enable Citizen Science Initiatives to influence policy implementation.

Transforming data into actionable information and knowledge

We are developing tools to validate citizen generated data, compute indicators for monitoring policies and alert about infringement of regulations.

Speed up the pace of change

Via large scale demonstration, we validate a set of behavioural best practices and technical tools and promote their adoption beyond the project.
