This form aims to collect information on ecological connectivity projects in Europe undertaken at Regional to National and Pan-European levels. Projects may include public and private conservation action plans and strategies, connectivity conservation and restoration measures, research and innovation projects, etc. The inputs will be used for the public repository of connectivity projects that can support knowledge sharing.
