Characterisation and preservation of forest areas of high ecological value and their ecological connectivity

General objective of the project

The overall objective of the project is to implement forest management recommendations aimed at owners, natural space managers and administrations involved based on a better characterization of ecosystems of high ecological value and the network that guarantees their connectivity.

Specific goals

  • Defining together, among all the regions involved in the Pyrenees, the forests of high ecological value and their connectivity.
  • Contribute to improving the management of forests of high ecological value and the spaces that connect them, considering a participatory approach.
  • Recommend forest management measures for forests of high ecological value and the space that connects them based on the studies carried out in the project.
  • Identify tools and economic methods that facilitate the forest management of forests of high ecological value and the space that connects them.
  • Integrate the results into public forest management policies and the strength of the participatory management.

Planned actions

  • Identify and characterize forests of high ecological value and the network that guarantees their connectivity.
  • Manage reservoirs and ecological connectivity.
  • Integrate the results into public planning policies and strengthen the arranged management.

Expected results

  • Improve the characterisation of forests of high ecological value and the spaces that connect them.
  • Implement coherent intervention strategies on these forests and the spaces that connect them.
  • Improve the territory’s capacity to adopt shared strategies for the management and protection of biodiversity, taking into account the challenges linked to forests of high ecological value and the network that connects them, linking it to the frameworks and practices of owners, managers and institutions.
