The brief

Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew ('RBG Kew') is setting this procurement to acquire durable, waterproof dataloggers designed to measure water table depth and which are suitable for tropical peatlands as part of our new Global Centre for Biodiversity and Climate (GCBC) project "Using biodiversity to support climate resilient livelihoods in intact tropical peatlands".

The devices will provide long-term, accurate data critical for understanding water level fluctuations in these carbon-rich ecosystems, which are vulnerable to climate change and deforestation.

Installation, data analysis, and cloud storage are excluded from this contract.

The initiative aligns with RBG Kew's goals of advancing scientific research in biodiversity conservation and supporting sustainable practices, contributing to global policy efforts.

The need for this technology arose from a study identifying peatlands as vulnerable ecosystems to recent increases in severe flooding and drought events that threaten peatland species and the livelihoods of people who depend on them.

By acquiring these dataloggers, this project aims to generate data that will inform future ecosystem management of resilient useful species to climate change and conservation strategies in tropical peatlands.
