3. Protection, management and rehabilitation of priority habitats at high risk of disappearance
Course Objectives
To promote the conservation of the priority habitat *2250 “Coastal dunes with Juniperus spp.” particularly at risk due to the man-made impact, in addition to the protection of the various dune habitats, protected by Directive 92/43 “habitat“.
Programme
This programme includes both theoretical and practical sessions. Some training sessions will be dedicated to the study of the protected habitat, the actions to undertake for the protection of dunal habitats in all fields, as well as complex and critical systems so as to prevent coastal erosion and mitigate the effects of climate change. There will be a module based on good management practices in order to minimise the anthropogenic impact on these ecosystems with a focus on the problem of the introduction of invasive alien species.
Practical lessons will be dedicated to the knowledge of the main nursery techniques for in situ and ex situ reproduction of endemic species and space will be given to the presentation of naturalistic engineering techniques, which are useful in the requalification of environments that are particularly degraded. A part of it will deal with techniques and communication systems in the field of dissemination and awareness.
