The overall project objective is to support mapping and assessing ecosystems, habitats and species as well as protected areas to compile the best possible evidence and data needed to map and assess ecosystem condition across the EU, at country level and for individual ecosystem types, habitats and species. The integrated analysis will build on direct measurement data, data from Member State reporting, and through indirect evidence to help develop analyses on trends in ecosystem condition.

This framework contract provides services to the European Environment Agency in relation to the following:

• Compiling, analysing, mapping and modelling geospatial data
• Assessing cumulative and combined pressures and impacts for terrestrial, freshwater coastal, and marine ecosystems
• Analysing spatial and temporal patterns of use of pesticides and other chemicals in agriculture and aquaculture production
• Support the assessment of hydromorphological alterations
• Support the implementation of the EU Nature Restoration Regulation.

Ecologic Institute, as part of a pan-European consortium led by Wageningen Environmental Research, is supporting the European Environment Agency in a framework contract on the integrated assessment of the conditions of and pressures on biodiversity and ecosystems.
