You will design and implement biodiversity pilot projects, either standalone or as co-benefits of carbon initiatives, ensuring alignment with biodiversity / nature credit scheme requirements. Your responsibilities include assessing biodiversity status, developing conservation and restoration strategies and management plans, and creating effective monitoring plans. Additionally, you will strongly contribute to the 2 year EU LIFE project, "Testing Biodiversity Credits on European Wetlands", which aims to pioneer biodiversity credit schemes for European wetlands and peatlands, bridging the gap between global biodiversity goals and real-world applications in the European market. This will also help shape our approach towards broadening our focus beyond peatlands.

Biodiversity assessment and management plans

• Assess the current biodiversity status of peatlands in collaboration with project partners, incl. flora, fauna, ecological features or ecosystem functions
• Support the development of comprehensive and standardized MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification) plans
• Develop management plans for biodiversity conservation and restoration
• Adapt our monitoring framework to measure project impact and incorporate new technologies of biodiversity monitoring, such as eDNA, bioacoustic sensors, and remote sensing
• Data analysis of biodiversity monitoring data

Pilot Biodiversity / Nature Credit Projects on Peatlands and other wetlands

• Design and manage biodiversity restoration and conservation projects on selected peatland and other wetland sites across Europe, ensuring alignment with biodiversity / nature credit schemes’ requirements and best-practice
• Organize and carry out biodiversity monitoring for project sites
• Create synergies between biodiversity and carbon project development
• Facilitate communication and collaboration with third-party auditors

Project Coordination and Documentation

• Liaise with key stakeholders to ensure smooth project implementation
• Prepare and maintain project documentation (PINs, PDDs), prepare reports, and document lessons learned to support the effective execution of biodiversity projects
