Glossary

Designed as a translation tool, the glossary is available in five languages. The glossary is not intended to be exhaustive. Instead it focuses on terms that are often found in our publications, concepts that are tricky to translate, acronyms, technical and official terms, and the names of species (including the Latin name) and habitats (CORINE code).

We intend to keep expanding the glossary. All suggestions and corrections are welcome. Please e-mail info@alparc.org
