The event explores how to tackle the challenges of implementing this law at the local level, adapting environmental policies and socio-economic needs. Conservation experts, such as Marc Ventura, have shared ongoing projects to restore Catalan ecosystems (min 51:50).
The renaturalization of mountain lakes is a viable option that brings significant benefits for biodiversity and allows for the conservation and recovery of the fauna and flora of the ecosystem. We discuss this with Dirk S. Schmeller.
We are speaking with Dirk S. Schmeller about fish eradication methodologies in high mountain lakes
The field campaigns of the project include the ecological monitoring of high mountain lakes. In this video we explain what they consist of and what measures we take.
High mountain lakes are unique spaces, where many highly threatened species live. Human activity is the main risk for these environments, which is why it is totally prohibited and penalized to bathe in them.
All the life forms typical of mountain lakes face great challenges. One of the main ones is the presence of foreign species, such as fish, that man introduced into these isolated environments, where they were not found naturally.
