This webinar will take a deep dive into the Pantheon analysis software developed by Natural England and the Centre for Ecology & Hydrology to assist invertebrate nature conservation in England. We will look at how it has developed from an MS Excel tool, look at Specific Assemblage Types (SATs), and the invertebrates that sit within them. We’ll look at the benefits of using Pantheon and also where it is less effective. We’ll focus on how outputs from Pantheon can inform management. (Note – it would be useful for participants to have created an account beforehand at https://www.brc.ac.uk/pantheon)
