They enable the impacts of environmental change on population abundance to be quantified and provide evidence of the status of species and ecosystems against policy targets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Monitoring butterflies is one of the earliest examples of citizen science and most programs are based on the protocol developed for the original <strong>Butterfly Monitoring Schemes (BMS)<\/strong> in the UK. Today, standardized monitoring programs are taking place in more than 22 countries across Europe and many more around the world.\u00a0In <em><strong>LOLA-BMS<\/strong><\/em>, by promoting productive collaborations and triggering the development of innovative approaches, a team of 15 experts including ecologists, statisticians and modellers, leveraged information contained in these unique data sets. The projects&#8217;s aim was twofold:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>to assess butterfly responses to global climate change<\/strong> and examine how local processes translate into large patterns, and<\/li>\n<li>to build an infrastructure to facilitate collaboration and exchange between <strong>monitoring schemes<\/strong>. This enables new questions to be addressed beyond the limits of established borders and improves capacity that will benefit both established and developing schemes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>LOLA-BMS<\/strong><\/em> has shown, among others, that Natura 2000 sites primarily take into account the requirements of birds and little those of insects. There is a real need to target efforts to limit the factors of pressure on biodiversity, and in particular agriculture because agricultural areas are home to a great biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-14691 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fondationbiodiversite.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Image2-1024x679.png\" alt=\"lola bms cesab\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fondationbiodiversite.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Image2-1024x679.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.fondationbiodiversite.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Image2-300x199.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fondationbiodiversite.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Image2-768x509.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fondationbiodiversite.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Image2.png 1182w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\">Centroids of monitoring sites used in Pellissier et al.
