The IBADER of the University of Santiago de Compostela, as coordinating beneficiary of LIFE INSULAR project, attended the conference of LIFE Dynamic Dunescapes Project (DuneLIFE) between March 14 and 16, which took place in Braunton (North Devon, UK).
This event was of great importance for LIFE INSULAR team, since it was able to see first-hand the case studies developed in the United Kingdom, the dune management handbook, the results of the restoration actions in English and Welsh dunes, and the lessons learned during the elimination of invasive species from dune ecosystems.
The extensive know-how generated by DuneLIFE allowed the uptaking of its results by LIFE INSULAR, which can be implemented and replicated during its actions in targeted Spanish and Irish Natura 2000 island sites.
The visit also allowed important and valuable networking with other LIFE projects on conservation of dune ecosystems at a European level, such as LIFE DUNIAS, LIFE On Machair or LIFE Sands of LIFE.
