Information about the Project Habitalp: "Alpine Habitat Diversity", a project of the Interreg IIIB Alpine Space programme. 2002-2006
The HABITALP project deals with the diversity of alpine habitats and its goal is to monitor in a standardized way long term environmental changes in these habitats. This is performed with the help of colour infrared (CIR) aerial photographs. Special focus is given to the identification and long term survey (monitoring) of NATURA 2000 sites, in particular of habitats cited in annex I of the Habitat Directive, which are detectable by aerial photographs.
11protected areas were active within HABITALP, divided as follows among five nations: Germany (1), Austria (1), Italy (5), France (3), Switzerland (1). Berchtesgaden National Park was the leader for the overall project.
“The Alps. From Rio 1992 to 2012 and beyond: 20 years of Sustainable Mountain Development. What have we learnt and where should we go?”. The report from M. Price et al. proposes some answers to these interrogations, focusing on the role of networks such as ALPARC for the development of mountain areas.
Amorcée dès la création du Conservatoire botanique national alpin, il y a de cela bientôt 20 ans, la collecte de publications scientifiques, en lien avec les thématiques de travail du CBNA, a permis la constitution d'un fonds documentaire aujourd'hui riche de plus de 26 600 références.
