Alpine Habitat Diversity - HABITALP
Outlook

Standardized landscape data – as presented in the project – provide an instrument for the planning process and success control of management measures. A methodology transfer within the EU ensures a coordinated proceeding on an international level concerning landscape management.

Successively, this database can be expanded to more closely settled areas in the periphery of alpine protected areas. Additionally, a transfer of the methods developed through HABITALP to other high mountain landscapes outside the Alps is possible once the EU extension to the east will be effected.

The HABITALP project significantly contributes to the coordinated and standardized realization of the EU NATURA 2000 Habitat directive on an international level. The innovative performance of the project exists by the surface covering application of internationally coordinated methods within the entire alpine landscape.
