Map. Monitor. Manage.

Landscape Observatory is uniting AI mapping, habitat condition monitoring, and Adaptive Management to conserve and protect our landscapes from the impacts of climate change. 

A BOLD NEW PROJECT FROM THE PROTECTED LANDSCAPES PARTNERSHIP.

What started in the Peak District will now be used by every national park and designated landscape in the country.
