The Biological Valuation MapThe Nature Outlook 2050 is based on four different visions of the future regarding nature. The visions of the future aim to list a number of important choices that policy is facing and to demonstrate their possible outcomes.

INBO is a proud partner of ALTER-Net. ALTER-Net is a network of partner institutes from 18 European countries. ALTER-Net integrates research capacities across Europe: assessing changes in biodiversity, analysing the effect of those changes on ecosystem services and informing policymakers and the public about this at a European scale. Originally funded by the European Union’s Framework VI program to stimulate a collaborative approach, ALTER-Net is now operating independently, contributing to the lasting integration of Europe’s research capacity on biodiversity.
