ECOPOTENTIAL is an EU funded project that focuses its activities on a set of internationally recognised Protected Areas. These include mountain, arid, semi-arid and coastal marine ecosystems. The project aims to deliver Earth Observation data products to help understand and monitor changes to ecosystems and support the management of these protected areas.

Healthy ecosystems provide essential goods and services to human societies and are of crucial importance for meeting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Recent advances in Earth Observation and Remote Sensing provide new opportunities to monitor the current state of and changes in ecosystem functions, processes and services and the pressures they face.

Environment Systems is one of 47 project partners which includes research institutions, universities, environmental agencies, international institutions and SMEs.
