The project's overall objective is to evaluate, enhance and adapt existing management and conservation strategies in protected sites to pro-actively respond on likely influences of CC as a threat to habitat integrity and diversity. Furthermore, a monitoring concept is being developed to detect changes caused either by human activity or climate change effects. This will be a very valuable information and tool especially for the administrations of nature protected areas.
Identify potential CC induced threats,
Evaluate existing management practices,
Derive a set of indicators reflecting local-scale effects,
Establish monitoring measures based on earth observation data and ground truthing,
Model regional climate change effects and risks for protected areas,
Support protected site authorities with decision support tool,
Adapt management plans, strategies and measures of protected areas to climate change effects,
Foster awareness rising on the demand for adaptive management,
Recommendations for CC adapted guidelines regarding protected areas on national and EU-level.
