Foundational Datasets and Models of Biodiversity and Species Interaction
Develop comprehensive, high-quality datasets and predictive models to better understand and forecast animal movements and biodiversity shifts.
Use advanced computational and theoretical models that capture how species interact, cascade through ecosystems, and ultimately influence stability or collapse. These models will help identify key feedback loops and thresholds, enabling targeted intervention before degradation accelerates.

We lack the models and infrastructure to monitor and predict how ecosystems behave under stress or when they might collapse, as well as what metrics to use to determine that restoration is effective. We need to understand the underlying dynamics, feedback loops, and thresholds that lead to ecosystem...
