AG7 Policy Recommendations: Connectivity and Biodiversity
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Alps remain a stronghold of relatively well-preserved habitats, rich biodiversity, and areas of high natural value. However, they face a significant threat of becoming ecologically isolated, lacking vital corridors that connect them to other important natural regions.
To safeguard their ecological integrity, it is essential to address the issues of ecological connectivity and nature restoration—both within the EUSALP region and in collaboration with neighbouring territories.
The Policy Recommendations have been elaborated by the members of the Actions Groups of EUSALP, reflect the expertise of the AGs members and are meant for voluntary implementation by the decision makers when it comes to the Alpine Region.
