El proyecto “Adaptación, restauración y creación de hábitats para anfibios amenazados por el cambio climático en los Montes de Valsaín, Segovia” nace con el objetivo de contrarrestar el declive global de los anfibios, que actualmente constituyen el grupo de vertebrados más amenazado del mundo.
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.
The Masdunas project is a pilot initiative born with the aim of finding the appropriate solutions to halt, as much as possible, the environmental degradation that has occurred over the past 50 years in the Maspalomas Dunes, largely due to the unsustainable use of its resources. The aim is to prevent the potential disappearance of the mobile dune field in the coming years, thus preserving its environmental value and its significance as a tourist attraction.
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, restoration and habitat creation for amphibians threatened by climate change in the Valsaín Forestry, Segovia" was initiated with the aim of counteracting the global decline of amphibians, which are currently the most threatened group of vertebrates in the world. This project was specially designed to respond to the decline of more than a third of amphibian species, which are under some degree of threat due to habitat destruction, adverse climate change, emerging diseases, and the disappearance of critical breeding sites.
The NBS URBAN project aims to integrate nature into urban planning, strengthening the use of ecosystems and nature together with existing infrastructures, for adaptation to climate change at the level of the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country, using a map for its identification and deployment.
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.
