Overview
Ecologically fragile alpine sites are exposed to overcrowding and nature-based activities, which impact species by fragmenting or destroying their habitats and disturbing their reproduction phases. Biodiversity loss from nature-based activities, a trend observed across the Alps, requires region-wide solutions. By involving local stakeholders, LiveAlpsNature addresses the increase in tourism by guiding long-term behavioural changes to reduce impacts on biodiversity and create sustainable nature-based activities.
