Between the 16th and 18th September, IBADER attended the Conference of the Sand Dune and Shingle Network, organized by Liverpool Hope University, to present the preliminary results and the first lessons learned in the elimination of senescent forest plantations to favor the restoration of island habitats, on the Island of San Martiño (Galicia). This enclave serves as an ideal case study for demonstrating the application of good practices in the elimination of invasive tree species in areas of great fragility. The audience recognized the great work that the LIFE INSULAR team is developing in the Galician archipelagos.
The conference was complemented by a field visit to the North coast of the Wirral Peninsula. During this visit, different aspects of coastal management and the conservation of natural ecosystems were discussed in light of climate change forecasts and the conservation of marine and coastal biodiversity.
