Biodiversity preservation in rural and maritime areas of EU islands

“Biodiversity preservation in rural and maritime areas of EU islands” (BioIslands) project is aimed at preserving biodiversity in the agriculture, pastoralism and fishery sectors, supporting the horizontal priority Environment and fight against climate change. The BioIslands project meets the needs of the partnership in different ways. First thing, all partners individualised a common need in their country of operation. Secondly, all partners of the Consortium have experience in the matter of at least of the main key pillars of the project (i.e. adult learners, NFE, agriculture, pastoralism and fishery, technologies) and participating in the project, through the exchange of knowledge and skills inside the Consortium. Lastly, the Results produced in the project will enable them to enrich the pool of tools/methodologies they own that can be employed with the selected target group but also other targets, due to their versatile feature.
