Global & European Strategies for Plant Conservation
ESPC Target 3
Development of models with protocols for plant conservation
and sustainable use based on research and practical experience
TARGET 3. TESTED MODES AND PROTOCOLS FOR PLANT CONSERVATION
Information: Developing and testing methods for improving all aspects plant conservation should be a priority for research organisations, NGOs, state agencies, and individuals. All successful methods should be disseminated as widely as possible to be replicated in other countries and regions.
Targets: (for details of lead partners download pdf of ESPC)
GSPC target 3
|
Development of models with protocols for plant conservation and sustainable use based on research and practical experience. |
ESPC 3.1 |
Proven methods that enable delivery of each target in the European strategy, collected and made available in one place via an online facility linked with the Planta Europa website. |
ESPC 3.2 |
European plant distribution data (national/regional databases) published electronically and regularly updated to facilitate conservation activities including comprehensive conservation assessments, invasive plants and climate change research, through cross-border projects and using the GBIF standards and facilities. |
Actions to mitigate the effects of climate change: Making use of increased data sharing to identify the species and habitats most at risk from the effects of climate change, and to create scientific models of possible outcomes for plant diversity in a changing climate. Publicise tested methods for mitigating the effects of climate change on plant diversity through the Planta Europa Electronic Information Platform |
