Description
This session will explore tools for conservation at site level. In the context of this session, a “site” is defined according to its management scale: it includes not only Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) for plants, but also Protected Areas, community managed areas, or other management units.
The emphasis of the session will be given to management figures specifically designed for plant conservation like plant micro-reserves, or certain community managed areas, as well as the identification of sites important to plant diversity like the KBAs identified for plants.
This session will finally explore the type of actions that site management allows, including habitat restoration. Species actions conducted at site level will be explored separately in Session 2. This session will focus on showcasing examples from around the Mediterranean and show concrete site- level examples that have permitted site conservation of species.
