Integrative Alpine wildlife and habitat management for the next generation

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG VB Alpine Space

Date of latest update: 2023-08-11

Description

Description (EN):

Ecological connectivity (EC) is the basis of Alpine (&global) habitat & species protection. However, much work remains in realizing an integrative concept of ecosystem and biodiversity (BD) protection for the Alps (with EC existing at different territorial levels). The project’s main objective is to consolidate & enhance transnational coop. in the field of nature conservation while establishing a coherent and complementary Alps-wide system of BD conservation, building on knowledge and results from previous activities. The project will identify areas with high potential of connectivity. In areas between PA mediation formats and EC implementation measures incorporating a wildlife strategy will be tested (regional level). The toolbox for regional and local bodies consists of JECAMI analyses, capacity building measures in NGO’s and administration, exchange on Natura2000 management and green infrastructure & fostering cross-border activities in, outside and beyond protected areas. Over the entire Alpine area the Strategic Alpine Conservation Areas (SACA) concept will be introduced. These areas serve to communicate spatial needs for EC. Local implementation in pilot regions (PR) illustrate how EC can be improved at an Alps-wide level based on existing policies. SACAs incorporate an Alps wide wildlife management strategy (WMS) based on analysis of diff. hunting systems & prioritization of activities, tested in PR. The interface to EUSALP is ensured through continuous exchange between relevant Action Groups (in particular 7&6), supporting a cross-cutting exchange between the Alpine Convention and the EUSALP perimeter with their respective key players. Eliminating the main barriers around the Alps is a key topic in the discussion with all EUSALP AGs. Beneficiaries of the project are manifold: civil society, decision makers, EU policy makers, stakeholders, spatial planners, green economy. An Alps-wide BD strategy by definition requires a transnational approach.

Achievements (EN):

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.

Expected Results (EN): Level of integration of the ecosystem services approach in the policy systems of the Alpine Space

Expected Outputs (EN):

1) The Alps and their surroundings benefit from abundant ESS as natural resource managers take decisions according to harmonized concepts & common planning tools based on transnational and scientifically based assumptions on EC. 2) SACA serving for EC and WMS purposes are spatially defined according to agreed procedures by involving stakeholders from relevant sectors. 3) Close link between the Alpine nature conservation bodies and EUSALP AG7 is helping to improve EC and BD protection in the MacroReg.
