The Biodiversity Digital Twin prototype provides advanced models for simulation and prediction capabilities through practical use cases addressing critical issues related to global biodiversity dynamics. BioDT exploits the LUMI Supercomputer and employs FAIR data combined with digital infrastructure, predictive modelling and AI solutions, facilitating evidence-based solutions for biodiversity protection and restoration. Funded by Horizon Europe called HORIZON-INFRA-2021-TECH-01-01, the project responds to key EU and international policy initiatives, including the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030, EU Green Deal, UN Sustainable Development Goals, and Destination Earth.
