The Global Mountain Biodiversity Assessment launches a mountain biodiversity and human wellbeing survey

The Global Mountain Biodiversity Assessment (GMBA), a platform for international and cross-disciplinary collaboration on the assessment, conservation, and sustainable use of mountain biodiversity, is carrying out a first assessment of the state of, trends in, and relations between biodiversity, ecosystem services, human wellbeing, and direct drivers in the world’s mountains.

This survey is part of a project, entitled “Toward biodiversity-related opportunities for sustainable development – a global social-ecological mountain comparison” launched in January 2018. For this global assessment, analyses will be performed at the level of mountain ranges or sub-ranges.

To take part in the survey and share your knowledge about the mountain social-ecological system(s) you are working on, click here.
The questionnaire includes both questions from natural and social sciences, that may go beyond your field of expertise. It is available in English, French and Spanish and takes roughly 40 minutes.

The deadline to respond to the mountain assessment is 31 May 2018

Today, Euromontana had the pleasure to take part in the journalist training course “Transizione ecologica nelle aree montane: biodiversità, cambiamento climatico e sviluppo sostenibile”, organised by Università della Montagna with the Ordine dei Giornalisti della Lombardia (the Lombardy Association of Journalists 📰)The course, bringing together 65+ participants, focused on how to better understand and report on ecological transition in mountain areas, from biodiversity and climate change to sustainable development ⛰️👉This matters because the way mountain areas are reported shapes the way they are understood and, ultimately, the way they are governed!We were pleased to join our member UNIMONT in this exchange. Prof. Anna Giorgi highlighted the need to change the way mountain areas are perceived, beyond fragility and marginality. Stefano Sala then showed how issues such as depopulation, winter tourism, climate change and public policy require a more nuanced reading of mountain realities 🔍 For Euromontana, Guillaume Corradino brought a European perspective to the discussion. He stressed that :1️⃣ mountains are not Europe’s margins, but diverse and complex living territories, and 2️⃣ stronger place-based policies and European cooperation are needed to move from recognition to implementation.Thanks again for the organization, the opportunity, and to all the participants 👏 ...
