Descriere
The global population of wild species has fallen by 60% in just 40 years, and roughly one million species are at risk of extinction. For nearly 30 years, the LIFE programme has been helping to protect Europe’s nature. It has financed more than 1 700 projects on nature and biodiversity and is one of the primary sources of EU funding for implementing the EU Birds and Habitats Directives.
Sylvia Barova (project manager at CINEA will present the LIFE programme and how it has been helping to counter the decline of species and habitats. Sylvia will also speak about how LIFE has contributed to Natura 2000 - Europe’s network of protected areas. And she will highlight the most notable LIFE successes that can be replicated globally.
