Space4Nature

The Habitat And Land Observation (HALO) hub is a place for researchers, practitioners, and those undertaking commercial innovation in the sector. It is a forum to share research, projects, events, and discussion related to the use of technology in monitoring and supporting UK nature recovery.

The HALO hub specialises in satellite and land observation techniques including use of high-resolution satellite imagery, UAV/drones and bio-acoustics for informing and monitoring habitat restoration across the UK.

"B-Lines are a series of ‘insect pathways’ running through our countryside and towns, along which we are restoring and creating a series of wildflower-rich habitat stepping stones." - Buglife UK

Buglife’s B-Lines initiative is the world’s largest co-ordinated solution to habitat fragmentation and loss. Composed of mapped 3km wide belts joining the best remaining areas for nature across the UK, Buglife aims to fill these B-Lines with permanent wildflower-rich habitat to reconnect our landscapes for wildlife.

The Space4Nature project is the first project to begin reconnecting Surrey’s B-Line, with over 30 hectares of wildflower-rich habitat to be delivered as part of the project. The satellite mapping technology Space4Nature is developing will address one of the foremost challenges Buglife face by providing a complete picture of habitats at a landscape scale.
