The project was designed to prevent fires and improve the biodiversity of a typical Mediterranean mountain environment such as Montserrat, through silvopastoral management practices.
The islands of Macaronesia are not spared from the effects of climate change, being very vulnerable to their consequences given their particular geographical situation, insularity, remoteness from the continent, fragmentation, external dependency, scarcity of natural resources, demographic density, dependence on the tourism sector and great biodiversity.
Mosquito Alert is a non-profit, cooperative citizen science project, coordinated by various public research centres. The goal is to study, monitor, and combat the spread of invasive mosquitoes that can transmit global diseases such as dengue, Zika, and West Nile fever. Mosquito Alert monitors several invasive mosquito species, including the tiger mosquito and the yellow fever mosquito.
The Tablas de Daimiel is a virtually unique wetland in Europe and the last representative of the ecosystem known as 'river tables,' once characteristic of the central plain of our Peninsula. It is a complex ecosystem that combines the characteristics of a floodplain, created by the overflows of the Guadiana and Gigüela rivers at their confluence, with an area of groundwater discharge from a large aquifer, resulting in the formation of a waterlogged river area: the river tables.
The project "Adaptation to Climate Change in the Cantabrian Mountains through the control of common fern (Pteridium aquilinum) populations in a Circular Economy system" led by the Association of Sustainable Municipalities of Cantabria, in addition to having the support of the Ministry for Ecological Transition through the Biodiversity Foundation, had also with the participation of the Environmental Research Center (CIMA), the Institute of Biomedicine and Biotechnology of Cantabria (CSIC-IBBTEC) and the Cultural Association Bosques de Cantabria.
The LIFE BOSCOS Menorca project, launched in January 2009 by the Island Council of Mallorca, had as its central objective the adaptation of Mediterranean forest ecosystems to the adverse impacts of climate change through sustainable forest management practices. This five-year project sought to directly address the challenges imposed by climate change in Menorca, an island that, due to its geography and climate, faced unique environmental risks that required specific adaptive solutions.
