Conservation of aquatic habitats and species in high mountains of the Alps and Pyrenees

Un nou estudi científic, publicat a la revista Biological Conservation i liderat pel projecte LIFE RESQUE ALPYR, ha documentat una desaparició accelerada del zooplàncton adaptat al fred en estanys d’a...

Des del projecte fem una nova crida a la ciutadania per contribuir a la conservació dels ecosistemes aquàtics d’alta muntanya dels Pirineus i dels Alps. Aquesta vegada, ho fem animant tothom qui visit...

“eco.mont – Journal of Protected Mountain Areas Research and Management” was founded as a joint initiative of the Alpine Network of Protected Areas (ALPARC), the International Scientific Committee on Research in the Alps (ISCAR), the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Innsbruck. “eco.mont” offers a platform specifically for scientists and practitioners working in and on protected mountain areas in Europe and overseas. Target audiences of the journal are scientists from all related disciplines, managers of protected areas and an interested public including practitioners, visitors, teachers, etc. “eco.mont” is available by open access under CC BY-NC-ND-Licence from the Austrian Academy Press and in a printed version from Innsbruck University Press. Alpine protected areas play a key role in biodiversity conservation, but also in monitoring species and habitats. Since its first issue, eco.mont has published articles on long-term monitoring programmes in different areas of the Alps. The current issue covers a wide range of topics concerning protected areas and conservation initiatives around the world. The subjects discussed include the use of remote sensing data as a management tool in biosphere reserves, the carbon sequestration potential of tropical mountain forests, and the role of local participation and regional commitment in the long-term success of nature parks. Further contributions explore the preservation of traditional mountain heritage, the opportunities offered by regenerative tourism for protected areas, and the restoration of high-mountain aquatic ecosystems through international conservation projects. The issue concludes with an overview of biodiversity conservation challenges, highlighting threats to species and ecosystems and presenting approaches to strengthen biodiversity protection.
