The objective of the mission detailed in this offer is to develop a methodology for monitoring forests in the Integrated Biological Reserves (RBI) of the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse National Park.

This project aims to develop a sustainable and operational monitoring protocol to measure the ecological evolution of RBIs, including a selection of relevant indicators and a representative sampling plan.

The main deliverables include a list of indicators and associated protocols, an assessment of the initial state of RBIs, and training for the players involved to ensure continuity of monitoring at the end of the mission.

This project is being carried out in collaboration with several local and university partners: Université de Liège, INRAE, CNB and Natagora.
