Preserving and protecting the environment and promoting resource efficiency.
Protecting and promoting natural and cultural resources
Bee-diversity has created an innovative cross-border system for the improvement and monitoring of biodiversity in the co-financed habitats which has enabled the sustainable and integrated management of ecosystems. This system was structured in protocols and in a joint model transferable in Europe. For the first time the project integrates monitoring of the state of health of areas through pollinators with a process of harvesting sowing and spreading native herbaceous plants.
Bee-diversity has created an innovative cross-border system for the improvement and monitoring of biodiversity in the co-financed habitats which has allowed for the improvement and sustainable and integrated management of ecosystems. This system was implemented in 10 case studies for a total of 8000 hectares spread between Italy and Slovenia structuring protocols and a joint model that can be transferred to Europe even after the formal conclusion of the project. Bee-diversity has integrated for the first time the monitoring of the state of health of areas with pollinators (Bees) through an innovative ICT system and an APP for the collection management and aggregation of data with a process of collection sowing and diffusion of native herbaceous plants. The work was carried out in Natura 2000 areas with the direct collaboration of the owners and management companies and stakeholders (farmers, beekeepers, technicians, etc.). Through the APP the project communicates in different ways technical information to professionals and general information to raise awareness among the population. In addition Bee-diversity has planned training and awareness-raising actions for companies stakeholders and technicians in order to disseminate and train in the application of the protocols created.
The main result of the project consisted in realizing protocols and a system for the innovative management and improvement of biodiversity. The development of a model developed for integrated ecosystem management to enable beekeepers farmers and stakeholders to develop environmentally and economically sustainable methods. This system was implemented in 10 case studies for a total of 8000 hectares spread between Italy and Slovenia structuring protocols and a joint model that can be transferred to Europe even after the formal conclusion of the project. Bee-diversity has promoted an innovative system for connecting hives using ICT software to promote monitoring of environmental quality and biodiversity through bees which play a fundamental role in the conservation of the so-called spontaneous flora through an innovative ICT system and an APP for the collection management and aggregation of data with a process of collection sowing and dissemination of native herbaceous plants. Furthermore BEE-DIVERSITY has worked in Natura 2000 areas with the direct collaboration of the owners and management companies and stakeholders (farmers, beekeepers, technicians, etc.) and through the APP the project has communicated in different ways technical information to insiders and general information to sensitize the population. Ultimately the project has favored the restoration of local plant biodiversity and its correct management ensuring better protection of ecosystem services located in areas with naturalistic-environmental value.
