Description
Forests cover more than 30% of the area of France, Spain and Portugal. Their conservation is vital, not only in terms of biodiversity and quality of life of society, but also in terms of the diverse economic activities associated with them.
They are regularly subject to a variety of biotic and abiotic hazards, such as insect and fungal attack in the former case, and storms, fire and soil alteration in the latter. These cause increasing damage as a result of global change, which goes beyond administrative borders.
The project therefore aims to help the project regions prepare for these increasing risks and to facilitate cooperation between the various organisations in each administrative area that is in charge of risk prevention and management. For each of the 8 considered risks (Chestnut gall wasp, eucalyptus weevil, pinewood nematode, emerging pests and diseases, forest fire, soil degradation, storms), the project prepared forest risk management tools and plans.
As a result of these actions and tools, each participant region will benefit from the experience, means and knowledge reaped and pooled transnationally in South-West Europe.
