Gran Paradiso National Park: what is causing young ibexes to die out?
by zopemaster — published Aug 19, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM — filed under: , , ,
Since the foundation of Italy's first national park in 1922, the Alpine Ibex has been preserved from extinction for the past 100 years or so. Now the ibex population at the Gran Paradiso National Park/I is seriously at risk. Three quarters of the young animals are dying during their first year of life. In 1993 the population totalled around 5'000 animals; today the population at the Gran Paradiso National Park is just under half that number. It is still unclear what is causing the death of the young bi-ungulates.

New publications for networking natural environments in the Alps
by zopemaster — published Jul 27, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM — filed under: ,
A great deal has been done and achieved in recent years to set up a pan-alpine ecological network. As part of its script series the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) has just published a report in English entitled Implementing a Pan-Alpine Ecological Network - A Compilation of Major Approaches, Tools and Activities. It comprises for the first time various documents, publications and reports supporting the implementation of an ecological network across the alpine arc. One chapter focuses on activities in the Carpathians. The publication can provide useful information to regions beyond the Alps, too.

News from TransEcoNet - transnational ecological networks in Central Europe
by zopemaster — published Jun 29, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:26 AM — filed under: ,
Similar as ECONNECT, the Platform Ecological Network and the Ecological Continuum Initiative in the Alps, in Central Europe the TransEcoNet project strives for a better connection of protected and less or unprotected landscapes across national borders. One major goal of the project is to reveal local people's perception and relation to their surrounding landscape in form of a survey of oral history. This is being carried out in the form of interviews in selected project regions.

5th meeting of the Ecological Network Platform
by zopemaster — published Jun 29, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:26 AM — filed under: ,
The 5th official meeting of the Ecological Network Platform of the Alpine Convention was held in Dobbiaco/Toblach (I) on 21 April 2010. The main topic at the meeting was progress made to date in nominating a number of pioneering Alpine regions as Pilot Regions of the Alpine Convention. It is hoped that the first regions will receive official recognition at the next Alpine Conference to be held in March 2011.

Think tank workshop Dobbiaco/Toblach: Elaborating recommendations for stakeholder integration
by zopemaster — published Jun 29, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:26 AM — filed under: , ,
Local connectivity projects can only be implemented if stakeholders are integrated into these activities. Potential difficulties and supportive tools were in the centre of an exchange of experiences between representatives of the ECONNECT pilot areas and other stakeholders carrying out connectivity activities. The discussions were facilitated by the Ecological Continuum Initiative in the frame of a workshop.

Communicating ecological connectivity to stakeholders made easy
by zopemaster — published Jun 29, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:15 AM — filed under: , ,
What significance do water management, tourism and agriculture have for ecological networks? Can measures in the transport sector have a positive effect for ecological corridors? How shall I design my garden to be a habitat for domestic plants and animals? These questions are answered by a series of eleven fact sheets provided by the Ecological Continuum Initiative.

Sharing connectivity knowledge within and beyond the Alps and visualising corridors and fragmentation
by zopemaster — published Mar 26, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:15 AM — filed under: ,
100 persons from eight European countries followed the invitation to the workshop in Grenoble, France, in November and used this opportunity for active knowledge transfer on ecological networks. The workshop discussions have helped the ECONNECT partners to agree on the appropriate methods which they are now using for modelling habitats and corridors for the whole Alps and for visualizing barriers.
