During past October 24, LIFE INSULAR (LIFE20 NAT/ES/001007) carried out a technical visit to exchange experiences in the elimination of invasive alien species, to the action areas of LIFE DUNIAS project (LIFE20 NAT/BE/001442) in the dune ecosystems of Flanders (Belgium). The visit was made by members of IBADER (on behalf of LIFE INSULAR), and the Agency for Nature and Forests (ANB) of the Flemish Government (on behalf of LIFE DUNIAS), both coordinators of each LIFE project.
The conference made it possible to compare the strategies developed by both projects, to exchange the solutions adopted and the lessons learned, as well as the general agreement to avoid the use of herbicides in the fight with invasives in areas with high fragility due to the vulnerability of the natural values hosted.
