PROJECT DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND
On the Iberian Peninsula, the areas with the highest biodiversity are found in the northern region, around the boundary between the Atlantic and Mediterranean biogeographical regions. Key habitats and species are present on both sides of this boundary, many of which are considered a priority under the EU Habitats Directive and the Birds Directive. But after nearly 3 000 years of land use and human activities, the environment in the Iberian Peninsula has become heavily fragmented. This has led to a complex mosaic of habitats around the Atlantic and Mediterranean boundary, with small, isolated areas of high conservation value.
The most vulnerable areas in northern Iberia are those that harbour the greatest conservation value: the coastal zone, inland wetlands and mountainous areas. They face a variety of conservation threats that are exacerbated by global climate change.
The LIFE GLOBAL project has selected 10 priority habitats and 3 priority species from these 3 environments that have an unfavourable conservation status. These habitats and species:
are considered representative of the Atlantic and Mediterranean biogeographical regions and some of these are found simultaneously in different environments
possess high conservation values and are therefore considered umbrella species/habitats, according to the Natura 2000 management plans for northern Iberia
have small areas/populations within the European Union (EU)
are restricted to a few biogeographical regions
are highly vulnerable to the effects of global climate change
are habitats that harbour high biodiversity values but are at risk of disappearing from the EU
are species that are of great conservation concern, as they have undergone significant decline, are highly vulnerable to the effects of global climate change, and their distribution is linked to the presence of specific priority habitats
OBJECTIVES
The overall objective of the LIFE GLOBAL project is to implement a transnational restoration strategy across 31 high-conservation-value Natura 2000 sites in northern Iberia, in both Spain and Portugal.
To do this, the project will carry out small-scale actions and demonstrative and
