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

This session will explore how to translate plant information (species, populations, habitats, threats\u2026) into concrete plant conservation actions, or plant conservation planning.<\/p>\n

Plant information at site level is often dispersed, unavailable, or out-of-date. In addition, translating existing wild plant information into decision-making is not a straightforward process. This session will gather examples from around the Mediterranean where the results of field survey studies or other plant data may successfully translate into site-based conservation actions.<\/p>\n

The session will explore in more detail how mapping tools can provide managers with the means to transform plant data into useful formats<\/p>\n

It will explore possible avenues for collaboration between scientists and decision-makers at site level, with a view to developing conservation policies and site-based actions involving local populations.<\/p>\n

Stories and case studies of coordination between managers, scientists, and communities or local users will be presented, and different types of tools developed around the region will be explored.<\/p>\n
