Description

Description (EN):

"This project is part of the plan BIODIVALP":The project BIODIV'CONNECT aims to create a cross-border strategy for ecological connectivity in the Western Alps. The project will provide an overview of the current knowledge of ecological continuity and how they are taken into account in public policies in the ALCOTRA territory, in order to clearly identify priorities on to intervene. The project will then develop exchanges between partners with the aim of sharing the methods of identifying continuity and the good practices associated with them, in order to share and improve the knowledge of these continuities. With these elements, the project will formulate a cross-border strategy in this area and carry out restoration and conservation activities of some existing connectivity in the ALCOTRA territory. The Western Alps Massif is the biogeographic and transboundary link of the ALCOTRA program. It rubs shoulders with both the summits and the Mediterranean basin forming a hotspot of biodiversity. Nevertheless, this exceptional natural heritage is vulnerable to the erosion of biodiversity and to global changes (fragmentation of environments, climate change, etc.). Based on this observation, a consultation process between the 5 Regions and the territorial actors has made it possible to draw up a framework ambition aimed at protecting and enhancing biodiversity and Alpine ecosystems through a partnership and a network of cross-border ecological connectivities. This ambition is articulated in two strategic objectives, contributing to the EUSALP strategy and the Alpine Convention, and aiming to (i) stem the erosion of ecosystems and protected species and (ii) enhance the attractiveness of the cross-border territory. The originality of the activities concerns the cross-border structuring of an integrated governance, the knowledge and the methodologies of management of biodiversity reservoirs, a public policy of ecological connectivities and a strategy of valorization of the biodiversity. In addition, the activities provide for the capitalization of various European projects (see point 5). The French and Italian partners of the plan include protected areas, communities, associations and chambers of commerce.

Description (FR):

"Ce projet fait partie du plan BIODIVALP": Ce projet est centré sur la valorisation de la biodiversité et des habitats comme facteur du développement des territoires. Le projet prévoit des actions de formation des acteurs de la biodiversité porteurs et garants de sa protection et des actions de valorisation des services écosystémiques. Le Massif des Alpes Occidentales constitue le trait d’union biogéographique et transfrontalier du programme ALCOTRA. Il côtoie aussi bien les sommets que le bassin méditerranéen formant ainsi un hotspot de biodiversité. Néanmoins, ce patrimoine naturel exceptionnel est vulnérable face à l’érosion de la biodiversité et aux changements globaux (fragmentation des milieux, changements climatiques, etc.). Sur la base de ce constat, un processus de concertation entre les 5 Régions et les acteurs territoriaux a permis de dégager une ambition cadre visant à protéger et valoriser la biodiversité et les écosystèmes alpins par un partenariat et un réseau de connectivités écologiques transfrontaliers. Cette ambition s’articule en deux objectifs stratégiques, contribuant à la stratégie EUSALP et à la Convention Alpine, et visant à (i) endiguer l’érosion des écosystèmes et des espèces protégées et (ii) à renforcer l’attractivité du territoire transfrontalier. L’originalité des activités porte sur la structuration transfrontalière d’une gouvernance intégrée, de la connaissance et des méthodologies de gestion des réservoirs de biodiversité, d’une politique publique de connectivités écologiques et d’une stratégie de valorisation de la biodiversité. De plus, les activités prévoient la capitalisation de différents projets européens (cf.point 5). Les partenaires français et italiens du plan regroupent des espaces protégés, des collectivités, des associations et des chambres de commerce.

Description (IT):

"Questo progetto fa parte dell'piano BIODIVALP": Il progetto BIODIV’CONNECT intende creare una strategia transfrontaliera relativa alle connettività ecologiche nella zona delle Alpi Occidentali. Il progetto realizzerà uno stato dell’arte dello stato attuale di conoscenza delle connettività ecologiche e di quanto queste siano prese in considerazione nelle politiche pubbliche della zona ALCOTRA, in modo da identificare chiaramente le priorità su cui intervenire. In seguito svilupperà dei confronti tra i partner al fine di condividere i metodi di identificazione delle connettività e le buone pratiche ad esse legate, al fine di condividere e migliorare la conoscenza delle connettività stesse. Grazie a questi elementi il progetto formulerà una strategia transfrontaliera sulla materia e realizzerà delle attività di ripristino e di conservazione di alcune connettività oggi già esistenti all’interno della zona ALCOTRA. Il massiccio delle Alpi occidentali è il collegamento biogeografico e transfrontaliero del programma ALCOTRA. Sfrega con le vette e il bacino del Mediterraneo formando un punto caldo della biodiversità. Tuttavia, questo eccezionale patrimonio naturale è vulnerabile all'erosione della biodiversità e ai cambiamenti globali (frammentazione degli ambienti, cambiamenti climatici, ecc.). Sulla base di questa osservazione, un processo di consultazione tra le 5 regioni e gli attori territoriali ha permesso di elaborare un'ambizione quadro volta a proteggere e migliorare la biodiversità e gli ecosistemi alpini attraverso un partenariato e una rete di connettività ecologiche transfrontaliere. Questa ambizione si articola in due obiettivi strategici, che contribuiscono alla strategia EUSALP e alla Convenzione delle Alpi e mirano a (i) arginare l'erosione degli ecosistemi e delle specie protette e (ii) migliorare l'attrattiva del territorio transfrontaliero. L'originalità delle attività riguarda la strutturazione transnazionale di una governance integrata, la conoscenza e le metodologie di gestione dei bacini idrici della biodiversità, una politica pubblica di connettività ecologica e una strategia di valorizzazione della biodiversità. Inoltre, le attività prevedono la capitalizzazione di vari progetti europei (cfr. Punto 5). I partner francesi e italiani del piano comprendono aree protette, comunità, associazioni e camere di commercio.
