LIFE FLOODPLAIN AMPHIBIANS (LIFE Auenamphibien)
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2023,
Background
The ongoing decline of amphibian species is especially severe in Central and Northern Europe, particularly those species listed in Annex II and IV of the Habitats Directive. This is due to habitat destruction and degradation, mainly driven by the intensification of land use over recent decades. In some regions, more than 90% of reproduction po ...

Reduction of CO2 emissions by restoring degraded peatlands in Northern European Lowland (LIFE Peat Restore)
Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2021,
Background
Some 25-30% of carbon stored in ecosystems is found in peatlands, twice as much carbon as is stored in forests. Peatland degradation, however, leads to the decomposition and mineralisation of peat and consequently to the release of the stored carbon in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2). According to Wetlands International, there are at least 500 ...

Collaborative Recommendations and Adaptive Control for Personalised Energy Saving (enCOMPASS)
Start date: Nov 1, 2016, End date: Oct 31, 2019,
Achieving the European environmental objectives for 2020 requires not only technological progress, but also a major change in energy consumption behaviour. The enCOMPASS project will implement and validate an integrated socio-technical approach to behavioural change for energy saving, by developing innovative user-friendly digital tools to make energy consumption data available and understandable ...

Management and Connectivity of Amphibians in the Cultural Landscape of Lower Saxony (LIFE-AMPHIKULT)
Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
Background
Amphibians are recognised as some of Europeâs most endangered species. Loss of key habitat features has contributed to species decline, as intensive land use systems remove ponds, close migration corridors, and limit the availability of foraging, hibernation and overwintering areas. Such factors have particularly affected amphibian species li ...

CLEAN AIR (CA)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2015,
Background
Road traffic, industry, energy production and households are all sources of air pollution and pose a threat to human health. Moreover, individual pollutants, such as diesel soot as a component of PM10, also contribute significantly to climate change.
The Europan Air Quality Directive (2008/50/EC) has summarised five previous acts on ambient ai ...
