RESTORATION OF AQUATIC ECOSYSTEMS IN PROTECTED AREAS IN THE ALPS AND PYRENEES

II Iberian Congress and VII National Congress on Invasive Alien Species at Murcia

From May 28 to 30, 2025, the EEI2025 Congress took place in Murcia, aimed at individuals and organizations involved or interested in the conservation of species, ecosystems, public health, and social well-being in the face of biological invasions.

The congress included the participation of several researchers involved in the LIFE RESQUE ALPYR project. Teresa Buchaca took part in the networking roundtable session with LIFE and European projects, presenting LIFE RESQUE ALPYR as a successful example of invasive species eradication. Meanwhile, researcher Marc Ventura focused his presentation on the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) techniques for the early detection of invasive species.

In addition to these presentations, Dr. Quim Pou delivered two poster presentations: one providing a general overview of the project, and another detailing the pilot test of rotenone application in the Santes Creus ponds, carried out in 2022.
