TESS
TESS is a project that unites fourteen partners in ten countries under the European Commission’s 7th Framework Programme. A Transactional Environmental Support System is needed to
- integrate all the knowledge that can simultaneously improve both livelihoods and biodiversity, through sustainable use activities ("what pays, stays"), and
- deliver it as local environment decision support in the context of map-based planning, for local communities and other stakeholders who manage land and species, who in return
- provide, as a map that reflects local land management decisions, the knowledge that combines to map economics and biodiversity over wide areas, which
- will enable government planners and policy-makers to fine-tune regulations and financial incentives for socio-ecological support of livelihoods and biodiversity.
Anatrack designed TESS and provides the science supervision.
