Think tank workshop Dobbiaco/Toblach: Elaborating recommendations for stakeholder integration
by zopemaster — published Jun 29, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:26 AM — filed under: , ,
Local connectivity projects can only be implemented if stakeholders are integrated into these activities. Potential difficulties and supportive tools were in the centre of an exchange of experiences between representatives of the ECONNECT pilot areas and other stakeholders carrying out connectivity activities. The discussions were facilitated by the Ecological Continuum Initiative in the frame of a workshop.

Less barriers, more nature!
by zopemaster — published Sep 30, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:26 AM — filed under: ,
Every day we build new obstacles on the migrating routes for animals and we prevent plants to spread freely. In most of the cases we are not even aware of this problem. How would it feel and look like, if our living spaces would suddenly get fragmented by obstacles we cannot easily overcome?

News from TransEcoNet - transnational ecological networks in Central Europe
by zopemaster — published Jun 29, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:26 AM — filed under: ,
Similar as ECONNECT, the Platform Ecological Network and the Ecological Continuum Initiative in the Alps, in Central Europe the TransEcoNet project strives for a better connection of protected and less or unprotected landscapes across national borders. One major goal of the project is to reveal local people's perception and relation to their surrounding landscape in form of a survey of oral history. This is being carried out in the form of interviews in selected project regions.

Dear colleagues,
by zopemaster — published Jun 30, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:26 AM
One of the main challenges in the process of implementing the Alpine ecological network is involving all the relevant stakeholders. The Ecological Continuum Initiative supports this goal in different ways. On the one hand with printed information material (fact sheets and the brochure), on the other hand by organizing meetings that offer a chance for personal interactions and exchange among stakeholders. Such a workshop on stakeholder integration took place in Dobbiaco/I this April.

The "brain drain": an opportunity for the Alps?
by zopemaster — published Jul 07, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM
Highly qualified people are also leaving alpine regions to move to other regions or countries. But according to a study by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Alpenländer (ARGE ALPE) Working Group the Alps can put this brain drain to a positive use. Indeed these brilliant minds are also multipliers and image carriers for their homeland around the globe, a fact that should be capitalised on.

Leisure: car-free mobility
by zopemaster — published Jul 07, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM — filed under: ,
Leisure activities that do not involve the use of cars are now "in", as the increasing number of information packs clearly shows. The Alpine Club South Tyrol (AVS) for instance recently published five new brochures, each featuring 15 to 20 hiking routes whose starting and finishing points can all be reached by public transport. In the series Hiking Without Cars the Alpine Club has compiled a total of some 300 hiking tips for the whole of South Tyrol. As the AVS remarks in a press release, "It should be a priority for tourist regions to adopt measures that promote the use of public transport for travel both to and from destinations as well as for activities at the holiday destination itself".

CIPRA prepares a seed bed for new ideas in the Alpine region
by zopemaster — published Jul 08, 2010 — last modified Jul 07, 2021 01:16 AM
CIPRA addressed a broad range of issues at its Yearly Symposium entitled “Growth come hell or high water? The Alps in search of happiness” in Gamprin/FL in September. A look at the global cycles and modes of action provided the framework for the topic. CIPRA also looked at the close ties with the Alps, where those global cycles have an impact, and promoted dialogue at various levels. The Symposium was very favourably received by more than 200 participants from all the Alpine countries.
