EU Projects related to MACISCOCONUT (=
Understanding effeCts
Of land use Changes
ON ecosystems to halt loss of
biodiversity due to habitat
destrUction,
fragmenTation and degradation,
2006-2008) is the sister project of MACIS. It
synthesizes existing data about land use change and
habitat fragmentation and the effects on biodiversity.
With this information COCONUT develops decision tools
and policy option - jointly with MACIS – for
stopping biodiversity loss. ALARM (=
Assesing LArge-scale
environmental Risks with tested
Methods, 2004-2008) develops and tests
methods and protocols for the assessment of large-scale
environmental risks in order to minimise negative
direct and indirect human impacts. MONARCH (=
MOdelling NAtural
resource Responses to climate
Change, 1999-2006) assessed the
impacts of protected climate change on wildlife in
Britain and Ireland with focus on the potential for
change in the ranges of species. BIOASSESS (The
biodiversity assessment tools project) develops a tool
box for assessing the impacts of policies on
biodiversity in Europe and measures the impact of
land-use change on biodiversity across Europe's
biogeographic regions. BIOPRESS (Linking
Pan-European landcover change to pressures on
biodiversity, 2003-2005) provides quantitative
information on how changing land cover/use has affected
the environment and biodiversity in Europe. EuMon
(EU-wide Monitoring
methods and systems of surveillance for species and
habitats of Community interest, 2004 - 2008) will
provide a European framework that standardizes, focuses
and coordinates existing monitoring programs by
comparing and integrating existing methods and
monitoring schemes of species and habitats of community
interests. MacMan (=
MACulinea Butterflies of the Habitats
Directive and European Red List as Indicators and Tools
for Habitat Conservation and
MANagement, 2002-2006) was focussing
on the ecology and evolution of the 5 European
Maculinea butterflies and their communities. Alter-Net (=A
Long-Term Biodiversity,
Ecosystem and Awareness Research
Network, 2004-2009) achieves lasting
integration amongst its 24 partner institutes, and
others, all of whom are involved in biodiversity
research, monitoring and/or communication. CLIMSAVE, Climate Change
Integrated Methodology for cross-Sectoral Adaptation and
Vulnerability in Europe |
