The TPMBiosphere4Climate project was established to counter the high climate vulnerability of the Tepilora UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, which is subject to droughts, wildfires, and demographic imbalances. Under the leadership of the Tepilora Regional Nature Park, the initiative applies the European Pathways2Resilience model to develop a robust and replicable adaptation strategy. The process involves creating a technical risk diagnosis, followed by a strategic vision and a concrete action plan based on nature-based solutions. To ensure the feasibility of the interventions, an investment plan has been prepared to secure public and private funding. Finally, an institutional capacity-building program ensures that the local area has the necessary tools to manage the ecological transition in the long term.
The MARMOT Erasmus+ project aims to provide concrete tools to communities affected by pollution and human rights violations, transforming citizens into agents of change through citizen science. Addressing the lack of independent data, the project is developing a transdisciplinary educational platform that integrates environmental monitoring, social impact assessment, and conflict management techniques. Five pilot sites in diverse contexts, ranging from industrial areas to war zones, will serve to test the effectiveness of toolkits created for non-specialists, facilitating the collection of scientific evidence and access to protection mechanisms. Through co-design, training, and networking activities, MARMOT promotes the creation of a European community of practice capable of stimulating bottom-up initiatives, bringing citizens' voices into decision-making processes and contributing to the protection of biodiversity and fundamental rights
The LIFE24-NAT-IT-ZOO-LIFE-POLLINATORS project aims to combat the decline of pollinating insects in urban and peri-urban areas across the European Union by tackling habitat loss through an innovative approach that harnesses the role of city zoos. Eight partner zoos, located in metropolitan areas and characterised by high visitor numbers, will be transformed into active conservation centres, capable of taking action on three fronts: habitat restoration, breeding activities and public awareness-raising. The project involves the restoration of over 900 hectares of urban green spaces, the promotion of ecological management practices to encourage the presence of pollinators, and the development of specific protocols for their reproduction. Through outreach, training and citizen science activities, the participating zoos will act as conservation ambassadors, encouraging the large-scale adoption of the best practices developed and contributing to the protection of biodiversity in heavily urbanised environments.
The LIFE24-NAT-IT-ALEXANDRO project aims to protect the Kentish plover (Charadrius alexandrinus), a small, threatened shorebird that is representative of Italy’s coastal ecosystems, through targeted measures designed to improve the functionality of dune habitats and mitigate human-induced pressures. Planned actions include the morphological restoration of dunes, the direct protection of nesting sites, the regulation of beach access, and the removal of solid waste, with the active involvement of citizens and tourism operators. The project integrates scientific monitoring activities and environmental awareness campaigns, with the aim of promoting a sustainable coexistence between biodiversity conservation and land use, contributing to the demographic recovery of the nesting population and the ecological enhancement of the affected coastal areas.
