Somos uno de los protagonistas del nuevo vídeo de la plataforma Patrimonio Natural del CSIC
El proyecto Patrimonio Natural del Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) ha contado con el proyecto LIFE RESQUE ALPYR para formar parte de un vídeo inspirado en las monitorizaciones a largo plazo (LTER) de los Parques Nacionales de Montaña. La monitorización del patrimonio natural a largo plazo, tanto biótico (microorganismos, animales, plantas, hábitats…) como abiótico (atmósfera, hielo, cuevas…), permite a los científicos y científicas estudiar la capacidad de resistencia y resiliencia de los ecosistemas, su posible evolución en el futuro y las mejores medidas para su conservación. El vídeo incluye los trabajos que se realizan en el Parque Nacional de […]

El Dr. Marc Ventura participa en un #IEASeminar
El passat 20 d’octubre de 2022 l’investigador Marc Ventura va participar com a ponent en un dels seminaris que organitza l’Institut d’Ecologia Aquàtica de la Universitat de Girona (IEA-UdG). En el seminari titulat “Ecologia i conservació en estanys d’alta muntanya dels Pirineus”, el Dr. Marc Ventura va fer un resum dels estudis que descriuen els efectes de la introducció dels peixos així com les actuacions de recuperació que s’estan duent a terme en el marc dels projectes LIFE RESQUE ALPYR i el LIFE LIMNOPIRINEUS. L’estat de conservació de molts estanys d’alta muntanya és lluny del que s’esperaria tenint present la […]

New video out! “State of Nature 2020: invasive species in freshwater ecosystems”
Freshwater ecosystems in Catalonia are highly threatened and have undergone during the last decades one of the largest biodiversity losses, in both species and habitats. The introduction of invasive fish species for recreational fishing and the release of pets and ornamental plants have led to a decrease of 92% of the native fish populations. The Observatori del Patrimoni Natural (Natural Heritage Observatory) dedicates a video of the series State of Nature 2020 to the freshwater invasive species, with LIFE RESQUE ALPYR and LIFE LIMNOPIRINEUS as protagonists. In this video Dr Marc Ventura, researcher of CEAB-CSIC and coordinator of both projects, […]
