Reti Ecologiche transfrontaliere Malta-Sicilia

Closed

The multidisciplinary approach based on ecological networks forms the basis of this project proposal. The aim is to instigate actions and interventions and to disseminate the knowledge acquired to laypersons, therefore increases the sensibility towards certain areas of ecological importance in Sicily and the Maltese Islands (Sites of Ecological Importance, Palaeontological areas, and sites of Community Interest). These activities will also promote actions towards the better protection and conservation and the promotion of information of these sites. In this respect, these protected areas can create laboratories towards the instigation of new ideas towards future developments in these territories, based on the sustainable use of the natural assets, as well as through community participation. Activities planned for this project include: 1) to study the relationship between ecology and habitat of the sites chosen, with the aim of identifying better management of them; 2) monitoring the avifauna, in particular cross-border species to increase our knowledge and the link with Sicily and Malta; 3) identification and knowledge enhancement on these sites of geological importance (carsic and paleontologic) present on the two archipelagoes; 4) the realisation of nature trails and information points, highlighting the importance of these sites; 5) diffusion and communication on the environmental values.
