From the LIFE RESQUE ALPYR project, we would like to remind you that the outreach exhibition created in the LimnoPirineus project can be viewed and requested. It is dedicated to the high mountain aquatic ecosystems of the Pyrenees. The exhibition is available on the project website and can also be requested through the Resources for Outreach and Citizen Participation platform of the CSIC.

Continental aquatic systems are scarce environments covering only 2% of the Earth’s surface but of extraordinary ecological value. These ecosystems host highly specific and fragile biodiversity, with a high presence of threatened species. Although in the Pyrenees they are often perceived as largely untouched natural areas, human influence has been present and has contributed to their transformation.

In this context, the LimnoPirineus project worked to improve the conservation status of aquatic species and habitats of European interest in areas such as the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, the Alt Pirineu Natural Park and Estanho de Vilac, in the Val d’Aran.

The exhibition has a dual objective: on the one hand, to raise awareness about the value, diversity and threats affecting these ecosystems; on the other, to present the results and conservation actions carried out by the project.

Now, with LIFE RESQUE ALPYR, this outreach tool remains active and accessible, reinforcing the commitment to conserving high mountain ecosystems. The exhibition can be requested for educational activities, institutions or events, with the aim of bringing this knowledge to as wide an audience as possible.
