ALPBIONET2030 
Integrative Alpine wildlife and habitat management for the next generation

Outcomes

Overview

Ecological connectivity, i.e. the free movement of species and the flow of natural processes that sustain life on Earth, is the basis of Alpine and global habitat and species protection. However, the rich and valuable landscapes of the Alps are endangered by over-exploitation and development. Furthermore, different regions have different tools to measure and improve ecological connectivity. That is why ALPBIONET2030 realised an integrative concept for the protection of ecosystems and biodiversity in the Alps. They set up a standardised Alpine-wide software for connectivity, awildlife management strategy, a map of strategic connectivity areas as well as a strategy on how to resolve human-nature conflicts.
