Catalogue of connectivity measures: new publication in English, French, German and Italian

Biodiversity   ecological network

The Ecological Continuum Initiative just published online a catalogue of possible measures for improving ecological connectivity in English, French, German and Italian language. The catalogue explains how reduction in intensity of farming practices, species conservation measures along transport routes or creating synergies with tourism can contribute to the implementation of ecological networks. 69 exemplary measures from all Alpine countries show how areas or structures can be created, conserved or restored so that they can play a role as connecting elements within an ecological network.

An associated Excel database helps people in pilot regions or in all other regions where connectivity needs to be improved to find measures corresponding to different contexts.

The catalogue and the database can be downloaded in the ALPARC resource library .
