🤝 SMART approach in action.
Detecting, mapping and understanding invasive alien species is only part of the story. To act, we need tools built with the people who use them.
#ComingSoon #AlienSMART #SEI2026
🌿 Yesterday we held the second stakeholder meeting of the @onestop-project.eu Portugal Living Lab!
We shared CamALIEN updates, presented new OneSTOP technologies — AMITrap and airDNA — and promoted a citizen science session on detecting and reporting silent invaders. 🪱🦋🧬
#OneSTOP #SEI2026
🧩✨ The puzzle is complete. Meet AlienSMART!
AlienSMART is developing a WebGIS Decision-Support System to improve the reporting and management of invasive alien species.
#AlienSMART #InvasiveSpecies #SEI2026 #InvasionS
Who should be involved in building decision-support tools for invasive alien species management?
Land managers, scientists, policymakers, local communities… who else?
#DecisionSupport #CoCreation #Stakeholders
Where have you observed invasive alien species most often?
Riverbanks, roadsides, trails, parks, gardens, forests, coastal areas, agricultural areas… or somewhere else? 👀

👽 Alien among us.
Not all “aliens” come from space.
Some are transported into new territories, establish, and start to spread...
#ComingSoon #AlienSMART #SEI2026
Which invasive alien species do you most often see in your area? 👀🌾🐝

📍 Location confirmed.
One sighting is a data point.
Many sightings become a map.
Understanding where species appear, how they spread, and what patterns they form across the territory is what turns single observations into actionable knowledge.

📢Right before #BiodiversityDay, we invite you to our #BioBlitz next week
👉The #BioBlitz is an in-person #IAS detection activity focused on the Obama worm, an invasive species expanding in Portugal
📅 27 of May 🕥 10.30 a.m
