The AlpsLife project (Interreg Alpine Space) is currently collecting key data through a questionnaire aimed at Alpine protected areas. We warmly invite all protected areas across the Alpine region to participate and contribute to this important step of the project. The questionnaire is designed to gather information on:

·       What is being monitored in your protected area (species, habitats, indicators, etc.)

·       How monitoring is conducted, including methodologies, frequency, and tools

·       Management measures linked to biodiversity monitoring results

This initiative forms the basis of Work Package 3, coordinated by ALPARC, and plays a central role in assessing current monitoring schemes across the Alps. By participating, your protected area can actively support the development of shared standards and approaches that enhance data comparability at the Alpine scale.
Even beyond the scope of the AlpsLife project, this initiative represents a step toward greater harmonization of biodiversity data, making it easier to compare trends, respond to threats, and design effective conservation strategies at the regional level.

Take part in shaping this process!

If your protected area has not yet filled in the questionnaire, now is the time to get involved. Completing it is a concrete way to make your monitoring efforts visible and contribute to a stronger, more connected network of Alpine protected areas.
Download the Excel file below, containing the questionnaire: inside you’ll find all the instructions.
Thank you for your valuable contribution to AlpsLife. Together we can build a more resilient and connected Alpine biodiversity monitoring system.

The AlpsLife project is co-funded by the European Union through the Interreg Alpine Space programme, which supports cross-border cooperation projects between seven Alpine countries.
