RETICULA n. 40/2025 Monographic Number

The rapid global decline of biodiversity requires the availability of reliable and comparable data, collected through standardized monitoring methods, to provide robust support for land management policies at various scales. In this context, it is essential that biodiversity data collection transitions from being purely knowledge-oriented to being primarily focused on assessing the effectiveness of management and conservation measures. This Monograph brings together experiences from Protected Areas involving structured collaboration between institutions in the application of shared monitoring protocols, the results of which are applied to conservation actions. The objective is to promote replicable examples of effective and coordinated biodiversity management and conservation in the face of increasing global threats.
