Improving Ecological Connectivity in the Alps (ECONNECT)
Date du début: 31 août 2008, Date de fin: 30 août 2011 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

ECONNECT aims at the enhancement of ecological connectivity in the Alpine space. Protection of biodiversity and natural heritage – a central necessity to cope with the challenges of climate change – requires an integrated approach which beyond protected areas considers high biodiversity areas and corridors as linking elements of an Alpine ecological network. International umbrella organisations linked to the Alpine Convention, scientific institutions and local implementation partners have joined forces to demonstrate needs and options for action and develop innovative instruments for ecological connectivity. Pilot applications involving different stakeholders result in long-term implementation. To overcome legal and administrative constraints policy recommendations are presented ensuring effective cross-border cooperation and procedural harmonisation. Knowledge transfer and dissemination are guaranteed by the widely ramified structure of partners and the strategic use of networks. Achievements: The third partner meeting took place in Bolzano on 15-16 November 2010 followed by participation of ECONNECT partner at another Think-Tank workshop of the Continuum initiative on November 17, 2011 to discuss potential follow-up activities for ECONNECT. The fifth newsletter was published in March 2011 and the pilot region flyers have been finalised and printed. The photo contest was successfully finalised and the winner photos will be presented during the final conference. A pilot region meeting was held on 28-30 March in Alpi Marittime to discuss the planned measures and the further work for the last few months. The final conference on legal framework of nature protection and connectivity was held on 9 December 2010 in Aosta.Outputs and results can be downloaded on the following ASP web page : http://www.alpine-space.eu/projects/running-projects/?tx_txrunningprojects_pi1[uid]=12&tx_txrunningprojects_pi1[view]=singleView
