Rhaetian Triangle: new online tools and support for local initiatives
by zopemaster — published Mar 26, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:15 AM — filed under: ,
The Swiss National Park (SNP) is currently developing a web based tool to analyze barriers and corridors of the large pilot region Rhaetian Triangle. Furthermore, two local initiatives are concretely acting for the restoration of ecological connectivity. The new map application will allow comparing a freely defined area with other areas in the neighbourhood and identifying the fields with high need of action according to selected indices.

Alpi Marittime: Ecological corridors preventing car accidents
by zopemaster — published Mar 26, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:15 AM — filed under: ,
In the Italian Alpi Marittime Natural Park car crashes which involve ungulates are very common. In most cases those accidents, besides being hazardous for drivers' life, could have been avoided with a better territorial planning, a more careful infrastructure planning and a warier use of existing technologies. The Alpi Marittime natural park will make use of the new ways to help the passage for animals across busy roads, which have been tested in the Pilot region of Isère.
