In our recent BIOTraCes meeting, we explored findings from the case studies and started shaping our theory of transformative change, the foundation for our upcoming Handbook (spoiler alert 👀).
A first draft is on the table — more to come soon! 🌿

“Governance is the central point — there’s always someone who can contribute.” 🌿
Rosinda Pimenta, shares how her region tackles climate change & desertification through collaboration and innovation in the #BIOTraCes Mértola Future Lab.
🎬 Watch:
Earth Overshoot Day was last week.
We’re using more than the planet can regenerate and biodiversity pays the price.
It’s time for real change. #Biodiversity #OvershootDay #BIOTraCes
L'evento ha mostrato come la governance partecipativa possa guidare transizioni positive per la biodiversità, dal basso verso l'alto.
Parte del festival Facciamo la Valle e oltre 10 anni di azione civica nella Valle del Simeto.

The photo is taken from a low angle through tall grass, giving a sense of immersion in the natural landscape. Some participants appear to be observing or listening attentively, possibly as part of a field excursion or educational nature walk.

Wrapping up an inspiring week at the BIOTraCes General Assembly in Hungary!
From fieldwork to workshops in the sunshine, our community is growing stronger and more committed to transformative change.
Stay tuned for the full recap next week!

The BIOTraCes consortium meeting kicked off with a field trip this morning with visits to pastures & a local farm 🌱
A hands-on chance to connect, reflect, and see biodiversity in action.
More from this week’s consortium meeting soon.
