• Media ▫ Continental
� fresh water � terrestrial
▫ Marine � coastal � Offshore
• Specific media variables : ▫ Protected areas ▫ Urban systems ▫ Agrosystèmes
• Structure et functionning variable ▫ State variables ▫ Functionning variables

“Nature I-Spot” Fauna android application : a new phone application for nature fans to post and share their field experience Science at Hand Reach for free Objectives
• bring science to people in an easy, friendly and interactive way • valorize the urging use of internet and phone applications to allow
people experiencing and sharing real life nature experiences • create a collaborative science platform in an easy effortless way • promote nature and wildlife conservation through social media tools • create an enriched database on biodiversity (fauna and flora) in Lebanon
• act as pertinent tool for surveying and monitoring key indicator species of environmental changes.
Challenges Linkage to existing fauna and flora databases in Lebanon that are actually not accessible by Android phone applications, in order to increase the accuracy of species identification and Further activate biodiversity research engines.

A decision support tool to orient - Protected Areas designation- in Lebanon and the Mediterranean
Input o It is based on a multiple choice questions to answer o The more questions we answer the more
pertinent is the data analysis Output o Different conservation options (protected areas types) o Hierarchy of choices
Ø Percentage of pertinence for each category Ø Number of constraints per choice
Challenges Ø Data availability to answer the indicators Ø Application restricted to the Mediterranean continental ecosystems

O-LiFE online library
• It aims at developing a tool revolving around biodiversity, water and environmental management for the Lebanese territory.
• The main objective of this initiative is to gather the environmental data in an
easy access free database regularly updated to meet the standards of the general public.
• We hope that the amateur and scientists will find accurate and sufficient
information to fulfill their needs

Building networks:
PERSPECTIVES FOR 2016….. 2017
• Definition of key variables: finalize KEV to be collected ▫ Organize two workshops
� Beirut : Finalize and agree on shared Key Environmental variables between Lebanon/France � Tunisia: Defining shared Key Environmental Variables shared between Lebanon/France/Tunisia
▫ Collect, gather and format Existing KEV from Lebanon ▫ Start populating the Environmental database for the selected KEV
• Implementing common working sites ▫ Identify and start equipping a common pilot site for long term observatio
• Achieve and develop the onfield and online tools ▫ I Spot Nature : fauna online application ▫ Med Protect : Protected Areas application ▫ Sustain the online Library : populate and update the database
• Sustain the O-LiFE mission of networking ▫ website by developing its communication material
A primary goal: to go from theory to practice: settling of an operational observatory
And beyond… NEMO Network of Environmental Mediterranean Observatories
O-LiFE as a germ for the development of mediterranean observatories network for ▫ Sharing common variables with French observatories through the
LIA ▫ Extending collection and sharing of common variables around the
Mediterranean
Using O-LiFE as a tool of sharing, educating and co-constructing with/toward:
▫ civil society ▫ Urban communalities ▫ Socio economic actors ▫ Other observatories around the Mediterranean
Les observatoires, ou2ls indispensables de la compréhension des milieux et des mécanismes Objets embléma2ques à co-‐construire, avec tous les acteurs impliqués: scien2fiques, société civile, décideurs… Leur cons2tu2on étant un défi en soi, une démarche commune « objet d’étude social » s’impose Une démarche fondamentalement • partagée • pluridisciplinaire • embléma2que du développement durable
Les observatoires sont des objets fron2ères à l’interface entre les sciences de la société et la science de l’environnement, dédiés a comprendre le milieu et répondre à des ques2ons de « développement durable »
O-‐LiFE: une plateforme de recherche collabora2ve, premier pas vers une coopéra2on renforcée entre l’entreprise et la recherche publique en environnement
La première brique d’un réseau euroméditerranéen d’observatoires de la « zone cri2que à la vie »
