Description<\/span><\/h6>\n

In situ <\/i>conservation actions in existing plant populations of the Mediterranean region are essential to conserve plant diversity in general, and to enhance the conservation status of threatened and endemic plants in particular.<\/p>\n

One of the most relevant approaches is plant translocations (including reintroduction and\/or reinforcement), also in conjunction with complementary active management measures such as passive defense measures (e.g. fencing the area where the threatened species\/populations occur), eradicating or controlling pest plants, or restoring the natural vegetation within or around the area, thus reconnecting isolated remnants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is essential to share experiences across the region to co-develop technical aspects, to refine methodologies and to implement successful in situ<\/i> conservation actions. Mid- and\/or long-term monitoring is also fundamental as it ensures the sustainability of in situ<\/i> conservation actions and helps to safeguard threatened Mediterranean flora.<\/p>\n

This session will explore existing experiences and knowledge developed in the Mediterranean territories, with a peculiar focus on the insular context. Participants will be invited to share their experiences.<\/p>\n
