BeeConnected SUDOE designs actions and tests ecological restoration strategies in four pilot areas. Specifically in Catalonia in the Girona greenways it proposes to modify the mowing pattern of the meadows and also adds nesting materials with the aim of increasing food and nesting resources to protect wild bee communities and increase connectivity between habitats favorable for these insects.
The BeeConnected SUDOE project addresses some common challenges in the SUDOE space related to habitat fragmentation and lack of connectivity , mainly due to agricultural intensification and urban sprawl , factors that threaten the conservation of wild pollinators . In line with the recent “European Union Pollinators Initiative: A New Deal for Pollinators”, BeeConnected SUDOE focuses on the creation and restoration of green infrastructures for pollinators (“Buzz Lines”), which mitigate territorial fragmentation and strengthen connectivity between populations of these organisms.
BeeConnected SUDOE designs actions and tests ecological restoration strategies in four pilot areas, to address the lack of connectivity of wild pollinators in fragmented agricultural and peri-urban landscapes, in accordance with the principles of the European Green Deal.
The project activities focus on:
- Restore degraded areas to improve their role in territorial connectivity
- Increase food, water and nesting resources for pollinators
- Design awareness and communication campaigns on the importance of conserving pollinators and green infrastructure.
The main innovation of the project lies in its comprehensive approach, which combines scientific research, community participation and the implementation of nature-based solutions.
