Tracking the Impact: Assessing a Landscape-Scale Approach for Biodiversity Monitoring 2026

Abstract

This report presents an initial case study analysis of the Tracking the Impact (TTI) project – a landscape-scale approach to biodiversity monitoring in the central Chilterns National Landscape.

The initiative combines local sampling intensification (using national monitoring scheme protocols at higher densities across the local area) and co-location of data collection to monitor birds, butterflies, and plants at the landscape-scale. To understand the potential for replicating the TTI-style approach to biodiversity monitoring elsewhere, stakeholders are interested in what questions this approach could help to answer and for whom it might benefit. This knowledge will be useful in informing the extent to which there is a case for taking a similar approach in other landscapes of interest.
