- How can the vulnerability and role of habitats alongside transport infrastructure be better understood regarding climate change, pests, and disease? How can we increase resilience?
- How could technology and data be better utilised to identify, classify and monitor biodiversity alongside transport infrastructure? What can asset managers in the transport sector learn from other sectors in this area.
- What are some of the emergent environmental and ecological benefits of fixed and 4G mobile connectivity? For example, could 4G mobile connectivity help rewilding and biodiversity projects by aiding in wildlife tracking? Could increased fixed connectivity support greater use of sensors with IOT, for example, to track water quality? How significant of an impact would this be?
- Many of the secondary raw materials (SRM) in landfills constitute valuable and scarce natural resources.
- Community composition, species abundance, and species distribution are expected to change while monitoring ecosystems over time, and effective management of natural resources requires understanding mechanisms contributing to change.
- Wetlands are unique natural resources that play an important role in the hydrological cycle.
- How can BDUK determine and understand what biodiversity impacts are attributable to our interventions?
- Where are the skills and capabilities missing within the infrastructure construction and maintenance industry to effectively conserve and enhance biodiversity and implement biodiversity net gain?
