On January 30, IBADER from Campus Terra organized an online seminar to promote the transfer of the results of the genetic analyses carried out by the LIFE INSULAR project, of which it is the coordinator.
The workshop served to transfer the results obtained on the genetic diversity and kinship relationships of the white crowberry (Corema album) population in Serra Gelada (Alicante), compared to the rest of the Iberian populations, to the staff of Generalitat Valenciana in charge of its conservation.
The results of the project conclude the need to develop in situ and ex situ conservation measures for this species, to ensure its long-term maintenance and the future viability of its populations. The workshop ended with a series of recommendations and short- and long-term management measures that would contribute to this purpose.
The participation of competent personnel from the Generalitat Valenciana is an asset for LIFE INSULAR, as it allows the lessons learned from the project to be replicated in other areas and territories, even increasing the scale of the results by implementing conservation measures using their own resources within the territorial scope of their competence, promoting the catalytic potential of LIFE INSULAR.
