Project overview
The City of Milan has launched a pilot project to monitor biodiversity within two major city parks-Monte Stella Park and Indro Montanelli Park. The main objective of the initiative is to monitor the effects of reduced mowing operations on the dynamics of wild pollinator populations, with a particular focus on the Apoidea and Syrphidae groups, two categories that are fundamental to the health of urban ecosystems. To support this study, four Spectrum devices, IoT bioacoustic tools that monitor the environment through sound frequency analysis, were installed. These devices allow monitoring and analysis of biodiversity in the areas studied, providing insights into the abundance of key species, such as pollinators, that are essential to the ecosystem.
The monitoring of Indro Montanelli and Monte Stella parks.
Within Monte Stella Park and Indro Montanelli Park of the City of Milan, two Spectrum devices for biodiversity monitoring have been installed in each park, covering a total of 60 hectares. These technological tools allow monitoring the environment through sound frequency analysis, making it possible to detect and classify the biodiversity of an area and identify the presence of specific species, such as pollinating insects.
