New LIFE RESQUE ALPYR project publication

Researchers from the LIFE RESQUE ALPYR project publish a case study on the restoration of aquatic ecosystems in the alps and Pyrenees.

LIFE RESQUE ALPYR develops and tests replicable protocols for invasive fish eradication in lakes of varying sizes, livestock exclusion from sensitive waters and mires, clear-cutting and revegetation on afforested mires and the re-establishment of mowing in wet meadows. The paper presents the project’s ecological rationale, study areas, objectives and methods, together with the expected outcomes and lessons learned to support transferability to other mountain protected areas. The approach integrates robust ecological monitoring and stakeholder engagement to ensure long-term biodiversity gains and to reconcile traditional land-use practices with modern conservation priorities.
