On June 25, 2024, the launch meeting of the LIFE GLOBAL project was held at Inbiotec-CESEFOR (León). The beneficiaries IBADER-USC and DXPN are also part of this new project, whose general objective is the implementation of a transnational restoration strategy in 31 Natura 2000 areas of high conservation value in Northern Spain and Portugal, distributed among the 3 most vulnerable scenarios to global change and of greatest conservation value for biodiversity: coastal zone, continental wetlands and mountain areas.
As the main adaptation measure to current global changes, the project aims to improve the conservation status and resilience to global change of 10 priority habitats and 3 priority species.
The restoration actions will be complemented by a complete strategy to inform and raise awareness among the general public, as well as to transfer the measures developed and the results obtained for their replicability at EU level.
The project has a great demonstrative and pilot nature, and will present great complementarity with the results and methodologies used in LIFE INSULAR.
