WP1

Implementation – core activity

Partners: EMI, SPBRC, EME 

 

This Wok Package (WP) has two objectives: (1) Determine ecosystem elements that form a basis of identification of ecologically valuable areas and (2) Establish harmonized methods to map the ecological values and associated services. Objectives will be accomplished through holistic evaluation, data compilation and testing of innovative modelling techniques. All partners and associates take part in these activities as  cooperation is needed for identification of key habitat types, ecosystem functions and associated services as well as harmonization mapping and modelling approaches. Synchronized data sets and common approaches provide essential input into other WPs and will be transferred to national and regional authorities to support well-founded decisions in resource management and promote transboundary co-ordination and impact assessment.
