Preserve Key Forest Habitats of the Lesser Spotted Eagle (Aquila pomarina) in Bulgaria (LIFE for Eagles Forests)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jul 2, 2018,

Background The Lesser Spotted Eagle (Aquila pomarina) is classified as a globally threatened species. Bulgaria’s population of the Lesser Spotted Eagle represents the southern tip of the species’ distribution and thus its conservation status is important for its overall population range. Bulgarian habitats for the Lesser Spotted Eagle also act as impo ...

Enhancing FOrest RESearch in the MediTERRAnean through improved coordination and integration (FORESTERRA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

Forest research in the Mediterranean region is currently handicapped by its fragmentation, its limited means, and occasional outdating and isolation. In addition, the low benefits that Mediterranean forests provide to forest-based industries--compared to other European forests--make it difficult to attract interest and funds from the private sector. For this reason, new ways to overcome this situa ...

Cardiovascular Risk from Exposure to Low-dose and Low-dose-rate Ionizing Radiation (PROCARDIO)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Epidemiological evidence has established a link between cardiovascular disease and exposure of the heart and major vessels to doses above 500mGy. At lower doses the evidence for a detrimental effect is inconclusive. In part, this is due to the lack of appropriate epidemiological studies, coupled with lack of knowledge of the processes involved that is needed for construction of mathematical models ...

Mitigating Vulnerability of Water Resources under Climate Change  (CC-WARE)

Start date: Nov 30, 2012, End date: Nov 29, 2014,

Water resources are under increasing pressure originating from land use and climate change. Accompanied with economic changes in the SEE region the land use pattern is expected to change, too. Both processes will have severe impacts on water resources in general and drinking water resources in particular. CC-WARE aims at developing an integrated transnational strategy for water protection and miti ...

European Forest Fire Monitoring using Information Systems (EFFMIS)

Start date: Oct 31, 2010, End date: Oct 30, 2012,

This project aims to pool good practices (GPs) on exploitation of the usage of information systems in order to early detect, efficiently manage and handle forest fires and assess the damage caused and ways for regeneration. It aims to exchange good practices between the participating regions, so as to strengthen their position and capacities to respond better to the Lisbon and Gothenburg agendas o ...

Living North Sea (LNS)

Start date: Feb 28, 2009, End date: Sep 29, 2012,

The Living North Sea project will solve problems surrounding the management of fish species which rely on moving between the North Sea and freshwater systems of partner countries. These species are under considerable threat, some even in hazardous decline. Living North Sea brings together representatives from every North Sea Interreg partner country, in a programme which will make long lasting cha ...

Further Development and Implementation of an EU-level Forest Monitoring System (FutMon)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Jun 30, 2011,

Background Forests cover about 30% of Europe, providing high value concerning: biodiversity; carbon sequestration; soil and water protection; and the economic contribution of goods and services. However, climate change, air pollution and changes in land use are threatening the health, stability and sustainability of forests and their values. On top of th ...
