BACKGROUND and AIMS:
Commuting by underground rail is a daily activity for over one hundred million people worldwide. With average return
journey times lasting around one hour, these underground commuters can routinely be exposed to inhalable particulate
matter (PM) levels that are much higher than those above ground. Moreover, subway air is not only overly-rich in iron but
can also contain high levels of trace metals such as Mn, Cr, Cu, Ni & Zn, as well as the toxic metalloids, Sb & As. From an
environmental perspective, the subway system is relatively clean, with low emission electric trains and moving large
numbers of passengers, which promotes less traffic congestion on the surface. However, in terms of air quality and
personal exposure, breathing subway air is likely to present a greater respiratory health risk to the regular commuter.
Thus a major focus of the proposal is, once main pollution sources have been identified in the subway system, to
TEST AND PRACTICE MEASURES THAT CAN REDUCE PM CONCENTRATIONS IN PLATFORMS AND INSIDE
TRAINS. These tests with take into account variations in all possible key factors such as station depth, date of
construction, station design, type of ventilation, types of brakes used on the trains, train frequency and the presence or
absence of platform screen door systems. The key participation of TMB in the proposal will allow IMPROVE TO ASSESS
THE MOST COST-EFFECTIVE WAY TO IMPROVE AIR QUALITY IN THE BARCELONA SUBWAY which represents
a perfect testing ground for this study.
MAIN EU POLICY(IES) TARGETED:
Air and Noise - Air pollutants
Land-use and Planning - Transport planning - Traffic monitoring
Risk management - Risk assessment and monitoring
Risk management - Pollutants reduction
Risk management - Human health protection
Air and Noise - Air quality monitoring

Air pollution causes harm to both health and environment. In Europe, emissions of many air pollutants
have decreased substantially over the past decades, resulting in improved air quality across the
region. However air pollutant concentrations have not sufficiently declined.
A significant porportion of Europe’s popullation lives in areas where exceedances of air quality
standars ocurre.
In these regions, the primary pollutants are oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and volatile organic compounds
(VOC) which undergo photochemical reactions in sunlight to form a host of secondary pollutants
The general objective of this project is to demonstrate the environmental possibilities of textiles
with photocatalytic activity in terms of decontamination of urban atmospheres.
This initiative takes advantage of the technical opportunities offered by the textile architecture
industry and the current advances in technology of Photocatalysis in order to consider the
depollution of air in urban environments.
2008 Directive on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe (2008/50/EC)
MAIN ACTIVITIES:
1.Review of current technologies available in terms of depollution of urban environments: identification of
photocatalytic compounds suitable to be implemented in textiles functionalization.
2.Air quality measurement at Quart de Poblet city. (Valencia, Spain) Two different scenarios have been strategically
selected prior to installation of photocatalytic textiles
3.Development of textile prototypes at lab scale concerning those possible applications in polluted urban environment
4.Analysis of the prototypes at laboratory scale in order to verify which of them are offering the most photocatalytic
activity and optimal textiles features
5.Development of textile prototypes at semi-industrial scale -awnings and wall coverings
6.Larger scale demonstration of the use of photocatalytic textiles in the depollution of urban environments employing
EUPHORE chambers (half spherical teflon bag with a confined volume of air of about 200m3 where representative
European atmospheric conditions can be simulated using natural sunlight).
7.Field demonstration installing the photocatalytic textiles at two urban locations in Quart de Poblet and conducting
atmospheric during the time they are installed
EXPECTED RESULTS:
Demonstration of the effectiveness of photocatalytic textile in order to reduce the atmospheric concentration of
nitrogen oxides (NOx) to a limit lower than 40 µg/m3 established by European law.

Sulfur oxides are air pollutants than have significant impacts upon human health
and are precursors to acid rain.
Sulfur oxides are produced during the calcination process of magnesite, mainly
from the fuel used in the combustion furnace. For that reason, the magnesium
oxide industry is included within the polluting industries group and consequently
must fulfill specific regulations.
The main objective of this project is to demonstrate the viability of a "zero
waste" wet desulfurization technology that will be deployed in calcination
furnaces by means of the use of MgO based reagents in a process that will give
value to the effluents generated.

Clara description del problema objetivo :
“ Reducción de la huella de carbono y la mejora de la calidad de las aguas de efluente mediante la implementación de
tecnologías innovadoras que mejoren de forma global la sostenibilidad medioambiental del ciclo de cultivo de peces y
moluscos de agua salada.”
Alrededor de un 50% de los productos pesqueros que se consumen en el mundo proceden de la acuicultura, según datos
de la FAO 2010. Tendencia al alza en la actividad acuícola.
Muchas de las instalaciones acuícolas en tierra del ámbito europeo no tienen facilidad de conexión eléctrica a red con lo
que la producción energética es efectuada habitualmente a través de combustibles fósiles y se dan numerosos casos de
ineficiencia en el uso de los recursos por otro lado, la dependencia de oxígeno suele ser elevada y todo esto va unido a
que cada vez adquiere más relevancia en las agendas europeas el correcto uso de la energía en el sector
agroalimentario.
Principalmente la legislación objetivo de referencia para el proyecto AQUASEF es la (COM(2013) 229 final) y (COM(2009)
162) “Directrices estratégicas para el desarrollo sostenible de la acuicultura de la UE”. Aunque también cubre aspectos en
el marco de la Política Común Pesquera de la UE, el Plan Andaluz de Sostenibilidad Energética (2007-2013), y la ley
2/2007 de marzo, “fomento de las energías renovables y del ahorro y eficiencia energética de Andalucía”.

Management
 In 2012, 91,983 tonnes of pesticides were applied in Spain (8,429 tonnes in Murcia).
 More than 60,000 m3 of agrowaste water was produced.
 Nowadays these residual products haven't got a possibility a available and sustainable management. It´s produced in
small and medium farms, many times in places inaccessible.
 The project will demonstrate a technically, economically and ecologically feasible method by which pesticide residues
contained in the waste water produced by farms can be neutralised.
 AQUEMFREE intends to be an easy-to-use system placed in the farm to avoid transport problems and allows an
ecological treatment for the agro-waste water.
 The use of innovative equipment will allow pesticide remnants in containers and treatment tanks and rinse water to be
dealt with.
 The EU Directive on the Sustainable Use of Pesticides (2009/128/EC). It requires Member States to adopt
measures to ensure that the activities of professional pesticide users and, where applicable, distributors do not
endanger human health or the environment.
 Otherwise, both legal and private standards e.g. GlobalGAP must be fulfilled by farmers to commercialise their
products in the European area. But no real solution is currently available for farmers in order to manage the pesticide
remnants and residues, but only vague recommendations.
Management
MAIN ACTIVITIES:
 AQUEMFREE System is based in a solar photocatalysis degradation process by using solar energy (UV
irradiation), sodium peroxodisulphate and a catalyst (TiO2 and ZnO).
 The catalyst is completely recovered at the end of the process for its re-use.
 As a result, water is not contaminated and can be used again for any purpose (e.g. irrigation) and there is neither an
additional residue nor transfer of the problem.
 The main innovative outputs of the project will be:
 The development of a solar photacalysis method optimised for real farm conditions.
 The creation of one first prototype of AQUEMFREE equipment installed and running in one pilot farm.
 The setting of 5 pilot pieces of equipment installed and running in four selected farms.
EXPECTED RESULTS:
 The main result of the project will be the development of an on-site waste-water decontamination plant
able to completely degrade pesticides without generating any other residue.
 The main expected long-term achievement of the project is the implementation of the Aquemfree system in
medium-size and large farms, which would provide a solution for 80-90% of this environmental problem, at least in
Mediterranean farms thanks to their solar irradiation conditions.

Integrative management for an improved adaptation of cork oak
forests to climate change «Life+ SUBER»
PROJECT LOCATION: Catalunya (Spain)
BUDGET INFO:
September 2014, Madrid
Joan Rovira, secretario general
The project will allow the implementation and transfer of innovative sylvicultural techniques for cork oak forest
management which will enhance their adaptation to climate change and will increase the resilience of forest
ecosystems dominated by Quercus suber.
Among the main expected threats affecting cork oak forests, and whose effects are already
manifesting today, are included: lowers vitality and productivity due to increased water stress,
increased pests, especially Coraebus undatus and increased frequency of large forest fires. In
addition, these impacts are added to a policy framework in many ways inappropriate to this new context.
The techniques proposed address the main threats posed by climate change in an integrated way:
Diminish the sensibility of the trees and stands to water stress and will enhance or maintain
their productivity.
1)
2)
Reduce the availability of fuel and subsequently the frequency and intensity of large wildfires.
Reduce the sensitivity of trees and stands to pests, and especially to Coraebus undatus which
causes significant economic losses.
3)
4)
Adaptation to climate change in forest systems is a central aspect in the policy of de European
Union. Positive effect in both strategic goals: adaptation + CO2 reduction (COM(2010)265 states that
forestry offers in that field).
5)
Forest and biodiversity protection: COM(2013) 659 final on a New UE Forest Strategy
6)
Fostering competitiveness and sustainability of the forest sector value chain (EFE)

Clara description del problema objetivo (debería ser una frase breve sobré cuál es la problemática
mediomabiental/especies/hábitats objetivo del proyecto y cuáles son las mayores amenazas hacia las que se dirige el mismo)
Validar el uso del riego deficitario y fuentes alternativas de agua (agua depurada) en cultivos leñosos, como
estrategias para ser aplicadas 'a gran escala‘ en 3 comunidades de regantes localizadas en las Cuencas
Hidrográficas del Guadalquivir y Segura, caracterizadas por una escasez de agua estructural, y cuya elevada
producción agrícola es destinada al resto de la UE, minimizando su dependencia externa de alimentos.
El cambio climático podría afectar negativamente a la producción agrícola de esta zonas (incremento de
la temperatura y de la evaporación, reducción de las lluvias y de la recarga de los acuíferos). Por ello, se
pretende mitigar estos efectos, asegurando la viabilidad económica (reducción de inputs e incremento de la
competitividad) y medioambiental (mayor poder fijador del carbono y menor contaminación de acuíferos)
de estos agroecosistemas.
(Destaque los componentes innovadores de las acciones)
- Monitorización del estado hídrico del suelo y planta en las fincas-demostración de las 3 comunidades de
regantes
- Programación del riego según la información suministrada por los sensores y su posterior transferencia al
resto de las comunidades de regantes. Aplicación, validación y difusión de un algoritmo para la toma de
decisión sobre el riego, desarrollado a partir de la información obtenida por los grupos de investigación
participantes en el proyecto
- Monitorización del impacto ambiental (consumo de agua y energía, lixiviación de nitratos, capacidad de
fijación del carbono por el suelo), económico y social de la estrategia de riego seguida
- Efectos del riego sostenible sobre las características agronómicas y fisiológicas del cultivo
- Actividades de comunicación y divulgación de los resultados. Implicación de las diferentes partes
interesadas en la difusión y aceptación social de estas estrategias de riego
- Reducción aproximada del 30% del agua de riego
- Reducción en un 30% de la lixiviación de nitratos, reduciéndose la contaminación de acuíferos. Reducción
de tratamientos fitosanitarios
- Mejora de la calidad de la cosecha durante su comercialización
- Reducción del consumo de energía de las explotaciones, debido a la presurización de los sistemas de riego
- Reducción de un 30-40% de las emisiones de CO2, como resultado de la disminución del consumo
energético y de la emisión de CO2 por el suelo agrícola

MIEMBROS DEL CONSORCIO:
CONTEXTO Y OBJETIVOS:
El sector agrario se considera uno de los sectores que puede verse más afectado por el cambio climático (CC). Los cambios
previstos podrían afectar a los rendimientos agrícolas, así como a la elección de los cultivos. Si no se produce una adaptación a
tiempo y se toman medidas para mitigar los efectos del CC, las consecuencias económicas, sociales y ambientales podrían ser
considerables, teniendo en cuenta el importante papel que desempeña este sector productivo, tanto como proveedor de
alimentos como de bienes y servicios ambientales.
El proyecto Life+ ClimAgri aborda dicha problemática, estableciendo como objetivo, el desarrollo de estrategias de manejo
agronómico de cultivos extensivos, que contribuyan conjuntamente a la mitigación del cambio climático y la adaptación de los
cultivos, tanto a las condiciones climáticas presentes como futuras, y que sirvan para el impulso y desarrollo de las políticas y
legislaciones medioambientales de la UE y sus Estados Miembros respecto al CC.
El ámbito de aplicación del proyecto se circunscribe a la Cuenca Mediterránea, al ser ésta una de las zonas más vulnerables a
los efectos del CC en Europa y a los cultivos de regadío, muy demandantes en el consumo energético, esperándose por ello, un
gran impacto por unidad de superficie de las acciones orientadas a la mitigación y adaptación.

•Forest fires are estimated to account for around 20% of global GHG emissions, emitting
some 8 200 Tg of CO2 and consuming around 5 130 Tg of biomass every year.
•In Spain, forest fires represent a big environmental and economic problem: more than
100.000 ha burns every year.
•Around two thirds of the area affected by fires is scrubland (containing few trees).
•Scrublands have a high potential as a source of bioenergy fuel. On an annual basis, some
3.75 million tonnes of biomass could be harvested sustainably in Spain
The project aims to reduce forest fire risks by removing flammable scrub biomass in a
sustainable manner and converting it to solid biofuel. New methods would be
demonstrated for harvesting and processing the biomass. Findings from four pilot sites (in
Castilla-Leon and Galicia)will be disseminated.

Grapevine downy and powdery mildews are worldwide spread diseases, causing important economic
and environmental damages, because of repeated application along the growing season. Fungicides
used to control both of disease are essential to maintain a good prophylaxis in vineyard. But fungicides
get to generate resistance in pathogens, supposing a higher dose for future treatments and more
aggressive fungicides; and so more exposition of growers to these compounds, decreasing their quality
of life because of the latent risks; it supposes an increasing presence of toxic molecules in grape, must
and wine, making possible the presence of them in humans by consumption of these products; and this
affect negatively the surrounding environment, by soil and water flows pollution.
The main objective of this project intends to demonstrate that fungicide application reduction is
possible to control downy and powdery mildew, in areas where repetitive applications are applied each
growing season because of the present environmental conditions (weather, topography, grape variety),
and show the incidence of the reduction in soil, water flows and human health.

MAIN ACTIVITIES:
• Evaluating new management strategies to control grapevine downy and powdery mildew by reducing the
number of treatments, and the action of so called “zero residue” fungicides as an alternative to
conventional products. In different climatic areas with different characteristics (topography, grape variety).
• Creating awareness among the users about the importance of an adequate adjustment of spray
application equipment, and its effect on efficacy and efficiency of the pesticide application.
• Taking advantage of mandatory inspection of sprayers process to demonstrate its interest for the users
by adding training and informative actions
• Analysing the residues of the used fungicides in each applied strategy present in grape, juice and wine.
• Appreciating the impact of fungicide applications in human health, by testing in zebrafish animal.
• Evaluating the environmental and socioeconomical impacts from grape production.
• Improving the efficiency of the phytosanitary use through hyperspectral imaging, by automatically
detecting fungal disease in the early stages of the infection.
EXPECTED RESULTS:
- Reduction of the number of phytosanitary treatments alternatives to control grapevine downy and
powdery mildew.
- Detection of fungicide molecules residues in grape, juice and wine at different concentrations. These will
be tested with the zebrafish animal model to show toxic effects comparable to human toxicity.

Why LIFE iSEAS
Discards are one of the most important issues in fisheries, both
from an socio-ecocomic and environmental point of view.
It is a fact that any fishing operation has an unavoidable percentage of discards,
from long-liners (2-10%) to trawlers (up to 90%), for a total of up to 7 millions
of tons/year of discards.
Why LIFE iSEAS
Economic
Regulatory
little or no market
Exceeded or No Quota
Technical
Poor selectivity
To maximise the value of
the catch
larger specimen (highgrading)
Minmum Landing Sizes (MLS)
Protected species
The multi-species nature
of some fisheries
Why LIFE iSEAS
Discards constitute a purposeless waste of valuable marine resources
which plays an important role in the depletion of marine populations.
Ecological adverse impacts:
a) Changes in the ecosystem and in the overall structure of trophic webs take
place.
b) Discarding of juveniles of target species results in a future reduction of spawning
biomass.
c) Discarding of mature specimen of target species inmediatelly reduces the
spawning biomass of the stock.
Socio-economic adverse impacts:
a) Fish which is killed without contributing to the income to the sector will not
contribute to the income in the future either (non-discarded fish will be a
resource in the future).
b) Fishing industry is affected in the longer term since it is dependent on a healthy
marine ecosystem.
Why LIFE iSEAS
Discards are considered as an unacceptable waste of resources and a New
Common Fisheries Policy has been set up by the European Commission to
mitigate and prohibite them.
REGULATION (EU) No 1380/2013 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 11 December 2013
Why LIFE iSEAS
In this new legal framework defined by the new CFP, the pursued
objectives are:
Reduce/Eliminate discards (by improving fishing selectivity, avoiding nontargeted species zones or seasons).
Make the best possible use of unwanted biomass in a sustainable
manner and avoid its waste, also reducing the costs derived from
shortage the storage capacity in the vessel.

“Optimised Renewable Mix For Energy Saving
in Waste Water Treatment Plants”
PROJECT LOCATION: Archena (Murcia)
BUDGET INFO:
Total amount: 1,366,044 Euro
Coordinating Beneficiary: Acciona S.A.
Associated Beneficiaries: Acciona Agua, GRG and ESAMUR
Satisfying the EU water needs requires energy for supply, purification, distribution, and treatment of water and wastewater.
At European Level, about 4 % of EU power generation is used for water supply and treatment, which is comparable to
several other industrial sectors. Electricity represents approximately 75 % of the cost of municipal water processing and
distribution.
Waste water treatment is on the increase in the European Union, with 7% more m3 of waste water generated and treated
every year. This increase will have an effect on energy demand, and therefore on greenhouse gas emissions and
environmental damage.
The project therefore aims at implementing technologies which are sustainable and which allow to reduce the energy demand
of the WWTP, and to boost the re-use of treated water, with a great impact on the water cycle, particularly in those areas
suffering hydric stress or deficiency.
The EU encourages approaches for reducing energy and water consumption, particularly in the following areas of concern:
drinking water production, wastewater treatment, industrial water use, irrigation for agriculture and water re-use.
It contributes to the implementation of EU commitments under UNFCCC Kyoto Protocol, including the EU greenhouse gas
emission reduction commitments in 2020 under the Climate and Energy Package. Moreover, thanks to the proposed changes
on the aeration and oxygen concentration control in the biological reactor, it is expected to obtain better quality water for its
reuse in irrigation on agricultural applications, and will reduce eutrophication from diffuse sources and direct discharger in
agreement with the Water Framework Directive (WFD). For this issue, the parameters established by the RD 1620/2007 of
the Spanish Law on reuse of treated waste water will be used as reference for the control of the output of the plant.

MAIN ACTIVITIES:
B1 Design of the demonstrator: taking into acount data fron renewables resources and consumption behaviour,
RENEWAT will manage two kind of energy source (wind and solar) and grid suply surviying consumptión to warranty
cero inyectión into the grid from renewables and improving the normal operation to improve the energy renewable
source. All registred in a database.
B3 Integration of the high-efficiency aeration system in the biological reactor: implementation of an
innovative high-efficiency aeration system.
B5 Integration of the new energy-efficiency elements in the control system software: RENEWAT control
system will be able to manage two different renewable sources (wind and solar), grid and demand.
EXPECTED RESULTS:
Result 1: To reduce the cost per cubic meter of treated water by 24% (from 0,4 €/m3 to 0,3 €/ m3), closer to the
price of drinking water (0,15 €/ m3) with a potential scope of implementation in 99% of the 16.000 WWTPs in the
European Union. This will be a first step into boosting the re-use of treated water for uses such as agricultural and
landscape irrigation.
Result 2: To reduce the WWTP electric energy consumption by 30%.
Result 3: To boost the intelligent integration of renewable energy sources adapted to WWTPs. The intelligent
integration will discriminate both the energy input source (either PV or Wind, Grid or a mix of energy sources),
adapting it to the precise demand of the WWTP at every stage of the process.
Result 4: To reduce the foot print in about 45 Ton CO2 / year for every 100 kW from renewable sources.

Zamak (Zn, Al, Mg and Cu alloy) is processed by injection molding pressure and is used in various
industries (toy, automotive, metalwork, etc) due to its properties.
•
Consuming and processing companies of such non-ferrous metal (zamak) generate waste accounting
1 million tons per year at European level, such smelting slag and sludge vibrated.
•
This type of hazardous waste is deposited in landfills with the corresponding environmental impact
that entails the generation of lixiviates, besides mineral resources contained therein are wasted.
•
The main aim of this project is the material valorisation of a category of non-ferrous metal waste
generated by the industrial processes of Zamak transformation, by means of the development of a

Around 3% of waste generated in the EU27 is hazardous, representing about 12 kg of hazardous
waste per capita (2006 data, EUROSTAT).

EU legislation covering hazardous waste requires Members States to comply with certain rules
concerning its collection, handling, recycling and treatment.

The conventional method for reducing or eliminating threats from hazardous waste containers
involves the triple rinsing and draining of empty containers.

The project’s main objective is to demonstrate the viability of a new technique for eliminating
hazardous substances from waste polyethylene (PE) packaging for solvents or phytosanitary
products. The project will use a technology that applies a supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) in the

Clear statement of the problem(s) targeted
Textile is a pollutant industry as employs high quantities of water and chemicals, one of the most important being
dyestuffs. All the dyes employed are synthetics and from a non-renewable or sustainable source, oil. Synthetic dyes are
pollutants during their manufacturing and use due to the residues content (2-50%, depending on the dye & fiber type) in
the wastewater following the dyeing process.
SEACOLORS main aim is the demonstration and validation of obtaining natural dyes from a sustainable and renewable
source, algae and their application in textile industry to replace synthetic dyes which are pollutant and harmful for the
environment. With this improvement, it will be obtained less contaminated waste water, by the higher biodegradability of
natural dyes, reducing the water purification process, contributing to the application of the politics and community
legislation regarding waste waters specifically, the normative,2008/105/CE on environment quality in the field of water
policy which sets the maximum allowable priority substances and other chemical contaminants and also in particular the
REACH regulation

•Main environmental problem:
a)Reducing membrane waste: Nowadays, end-life reverse osmosis membranes are
considered as a waste; however, they could have the potential to be used in others
filtration processes. Due to the continuous growth of membrane technology, if nothing
changes, what to do with the end-life membranes, could be an environmental problem in
the near future. This project could change the current membrane waste management.
b)Reducing new generation of new membranes units. The transformed membranes
could be used in the industry as substitutes of virgin comercial nanofiltration and
ultrafiltration membranes, reducing the creation of new units. Moreover, recycling of endlife reverse osmosis membranes could contribute to generate compact systems for
wastewater treatment.
•Directive 2008/98/CE on wastes (recycling and reuses of end-life reverese osmosis
membranes)
•Spanish Royal Decree 1620/2007 about reuse of waste water (it could be obtained
reclaimed wastewater by using transformed membrane)
Technician
MAIN ACTIVITIES:
•Transformation of RO membranes for their reuse in pilot scale low pressure
(ultra-nanofiltration) processes
•Application of the transformed membranes in filtration processes different to RO
(treatment of brackish water and urban wastewater)
•Economic and financial assessment of the optimal solutions in order to assess
market dimension
•Monitoring plan
•Dissemination plan
•Maintenance plan after LIFE+ 13
EXPECTED RESULTS:
Technological results:
•a) Transformation of old RO membranes: demostration of the process,
construction of 3 pilots
•b) Economic and financial feasibility study of the project’s optimal solutions:
study of the available market for the recycled products
Social results: Guidelines for recycling and reuse of old RO membranes, practical

LIFE13 Kick-off Meeting
Madrid, 10 de septiembre de 2014.
Antecedentes i objetivos:
En el área del proyecto, la desaparición de los cultivos y otros usos forestales tradicionales y la recurrencia de grandes
incendios forestales han provocado una gran uniformización del territorio con dos consecuencias claras:
1. La regresión de especies y hábitats debido a la falta de espacios abiertos y a los cambios de uso del suelo
2. La inestabilidad y la vulnerabilidad de los hábitats forestales postincendio.
El proyecto LIFE MONTSERRAT tiene por objetivos:
1. Aumentar la resiliencia y estabilidad de los bosques frente a incendios forestales
2. Contribuir a la conservación y mejora de la biodiversidad de la zona, con hábitats y especies de alto valor
incluidas en las Directivas Aves y Hábitats.
2. Aumentar la conectividad entre dos áreas de la Red Natura 2000 mediante un mosaico de pastizales,
matorrales y bosques naturales.
Principales políticas europeas tratadas:
El proyecto LIFE MONTSERRAT comparte los objetivos de “La Estrategia de la UE sobre la biodiversidad 2020”, que tiene
por objetivo detener la pérdida de la biodiversidad y la degradación de los servicios ecosistémicos en la UE para el
año 2020.
I trabaja en la línea del “libro verde sobre protección de los bosques e información forestal en la UE” donde describe que
existe una correlación clara entre una gestión forestal activa y la reducción del riesgo de incendios.
LIFE13 Kick-off Meeting, Madrid
10 de septiembre de 2014.
Actividades principales:
El proyecto es un plan integrado de restauración forestal, donde la acción principal se centra en la disminución de la carga de
combustible en zonas estratégicas y en la creación y mantenimiento de un paisaje en mosaico.
La particularidad del método es que se desarrolla mediante la asociación público-privada que involucra a los actores locales, las
políticas transversales y la coordinación institucional en: la gestión forestal, la implementación del sistema de pastoreo y la
prevención de incendios forestales.
El proyecto debe ser sostenible tras la financiación LIFE+, para ello se basa en la infraestructura y economía local.
Resultados esperados:
- Restauración de los bosques de interés comunitario Hábitat 9540.
- Reducción del volumen de combustible en áreas estratégicas por medio del pastoreo.
- Disminución de la propagación de incendios forestales mediante el mantenimiento de un paisaje de tipo mosaico
- Reducción de los costes de extinción de incendios.
- Aumento de la concienciación y participación de las partes interesadas.
- Mejora de la sostenibilidad económica de las áreas de la red Natura 2000.
- Recuperación de hábitats abiertos (6220 y 6420 entre otros) y de hábitats agrícolas abandonados.
- Aumento de la tasa de supervivencia y éxito reproductivo del águila perdicera (Aquila fasciata) y otras especies amenazadas
(Alectoris rufa; Circus pygargus, Clamator glandarius, Corvus monedula, Neophron percnopterus, etc.).
- Conservación y mejora de la calidad del paisaje.

prioritarios presentes en los espacios litorales de Andalucía.
OBJETIVO 2. Conservar los ecosistemas litorales andaluces, mediante actuaciones de protección y reforzamiento
de poblaciones de las principales especies amenazadas y de los hábitats litorales prioritarios.
OBJETIVO 3. Evaluar el estado de conservación de Hábitats Prioritarios presentes en el litoral andaluz.
OBJETIVO 4. Mitigar las principales amenazas que en la actualidad se han identificado para la conservación de los
hábitats y flora amenazada del litoral andaluz.
OBJETIVO 5. Reforzar mediante la formación a sectores profesionales implicados en estos espacios.
OBJETIVO 6. Mejorar en la aplicación de fórmulas de gestión integrada del litoral dentro del ámbito de actuación del proyecto.
OBJETIVO 7. Poner en valor la biodiversidad litoral andaluza (especies y hábitats prioritarios y Red Natura 2000).
De este modo, el proyecto trabaja en 10 hábitats prioritarios presentes en 15 LIC. Las amenazas detectadas sobre las que se
actúa son: presencia de especies exóticas invasoras, uso público no ordenado, presencia de especies competidoras, malas
prácticas en tratamientos selvícolas, riesgo de incendios, residuos y actividades agrícolas inadecuadas.

En los últimos años se ha comprobado un acusado retroceso de las poblaciones
de ciprínidos ibéricos (bermejuela, colmilleja, sarda etc.), algunas de ellas
declaradas como especies amenazadas, debido a múltiples causas, entre las que
cabe destacar la degradación del hábitat fluvial, la fragmentación de los ríos por
la presencia de obstáculos transversales infranqueables, y la proliferación de las
especies exóticas.
Se ha escogido cómo ámbito de actuación los LICs de la zona suroeste de la
provincia de Salamanca por sus singulares características (endemismos,
tipología de los ríos, etc.).

Antecedentes y Objetivos:
El descenso de la ganadería extensiva en muchas zonas rurales , junto con las normativas zoosanitarias aplicadas durante las
últimas décadas a la eliminación de cadáveres procedentes de estas explotaciones, han provocado un importante descenso en la
disponibilidad de alimento para las aves necrófagas.
La falta de alimento en cantidad , calidad y localización adecuadas supone una de las más importantes amenazas para la
conservación de las poblaciones de aves necrófagas en su área de distribución europea.
El Proyecto Life “Feeding Scavengers” se propone restituir unas condiciones adecuadas en cuanto a la disponibilidad de alimento
para el buitre negro y otras especies de aves necrófagas de interés comunitario.
Para ello se promoverá la aplicación de las nuevas normativas europeas, que permiten la utilización de cadáveres provenientes de
la ganadería extensiva, para la alimentación de estas especies. Para alcanzar los objetivos previstos se contará con la
colaboración con los ganaderos de las principales zonas de alimentación de estas especies en Castilla y León.

LIFE Lutreola Spain pretende mejorar el estado de conservación del visón europeo (Mustela
lutreola) en España
La situación de la especie es crítica, hasta el punto de que si no se realiza una conservación más
eficaz es muy probable que la especie desaparezca en un breve plazo de tiempo en España.
En los últimos 15 años se ha constatado la expansión del visón americano (Neovison vison),
habiéndose identificado ésta como la principal amenaza para la conservación del visón
autóctono. Los trabajos de control realizados hasta la fecha se han mostrado ineficaces, por lo
que urge mejorar las técnicas y protocolos de actuación.
Los objetivos generales son:
-La eliminación de los núcleos de visón americano dentro del área de distribución y zonas de
riesgo del visón europeo
- El aumento de la viabilidad de la población salvaje de visón europeo mediante el refuerzo
poblacional y la creación de nuevos núcleos y
- La creación de una red de seguimiento para evaluar la situación de ambas especies de visones.
Esta especie figura en la Directiva 92/43 en los anexos II y IV, teniendo además la
consideración de prioritaria.
Logo(s)
PRINCIPALES ACCIONES:
1. Estudio de la eficacia en la detección y captura de visones y creación de nuevos protocolos de trabajo
combinando distintos métodos para la erradicación del visón americano, la detección temprana de sus
movimientos dispersivos y el seguimiento del estado de conservación del visón europeo
2. Trampeo de visón americano dentro de las áreas de riesgo y de distribución de visón europeo
3. Restauración de las poblaciones de visón europeo. Refuerzo poblacional de los núcleos más vulnerables y
creación de un nuevo núcleo poblacional
4. Creación de una red de seguimiento para evaluar de forma continua el estado de conservación del visón
europeo y seguir la evolución del área ocupada por el visón americano
5. Evaluación de la unión de las poblaciones cautivas oriental y occidental de visón europeo
6. Restauración de hábitat del visón europeo en un tramo del río Ebro
7. Evaluación del impacto de estructuras viarias en Álava y de granjas peleteras en Guipuzcoa

Nuno Cabrita, Coordinator of conservation actions
There is a strong invasion of various species of acacia in the Machada woods. In the
surrounding marsh there is an invasion, less aggressive, of ice plants (Carpobrotus edulis
(L.)).
We seek an alternative to the traditional models of invasive species control, not neglecting
the experience in many other projects . This project combines a public component and a
strong support in volunteering programs.
The problem of invasive species, especially flora in this case, is a global problem, identified
in section 3.4 of the European Commission "Our life insurance, our natural capital
reporting: an EU biodiversity strategy to 2020 "as one of the greatest pressures and drivers
of loss of biodiversity. This identification is reflected in the definition of goal 5 of the
strategy, which is a line of policy with subsequent developments.
MAIN ACTIVITIES:
1. A team of multifunctional forest management will manage the conservation activities;
1.Cutting interventions, removal, occasional planting, etc., based on voluntary targeted
audiences (schools, pensioners, associations, corporate, general public, etc.), leading to
"adopting" control areas and eradication of invasive species by organized groups. These
interventions are technically framed by the forest management team. The boost of actions
as well as the mobilization of volunteers is based on extensive awareness actions.
1.The use of public participation components is expected to play an important role in
raising public awareness to the problems of managing the natural heritage.
EXPECTED RESULTS:
The main expected result of the project is an immaterial result: to trigger a social dynamics
to mobilizing volunteers, which in the future sustains itself.
It is expected a concrete outcome: the"adoption" area of patches of invasive species, that
comes to 20 hectares, representing more than 50% of the area with more serious invasion
of acacia

Conservation of the Spanish Imperial Eagle (Aquila adalberti) in Portugal
LIFE13NAT/PT/1300 - LIFE Imperial
Budget:
Total – € 2,475,460 Eligible – € 2,473,010
75% UE contribution – € 1,854,725
Duration: Start: 01/07/2014 – End: 31/12/2018
European legislation: Implementation of the EU Birds Directive for the
protection of a priority species included in Annex I
4 SPA: Castro Verde, Vale do
Guadiana,
Mourão/Moura/Barrancos and
Tejo Internacional
Background:
Currently, this eagle is considered endemic of
the Iberian Peninsula. The size of
its breeding population is so small due to threats like habitat loss, prey decline and anthropogenic threats
(such as poisoning, illegal shooting, electrocution and disturbance) that there is a high risk of extinction, due
to unpredictable environmental factors.
LIFE13 Kick-off Meeting, 10 Set. 2014, Madrid, Spain
Miguel Geraldes
Main goal: Establish the basic tools to insure the population increase of Spanish Imperial Eagle
in Portugal and, therefore, the global Iberian population
a)To promote the maintenance and conservation of the habitat in order to enhance its natural recolonization;
b)To improve the breeding habitat quality, to recover the prey species and increase species productivity;
c)To reduce the factors that are limiting the reproductive success (eg: electrocussion and poisoning);
d)To increase the efficiency of the main agents involved in this species protection (eg: managers, hunters,
land owners, decision makers, birdwatchers, inspection and magistrate entities) ensuring its long-term
continuity
e)Raise awareness of general public and stakeholders including local communities, tourism operators and
namely photographers about the importance of this species conservation
Actions:
• Preparatory: assessment of habitat quality (A2), evaluation of the impact of predators in prey species
(A4) and the causes that limit the establishing of new breeding pairs (A6); compilation of information to
identify priority interventions and create GIS database (A1), definition of Collaboration Protocols and a
stewardship network (A3) and elaboration of the National Action Plan (A5); enabling GNR with canine teams
detecting poisons for the first time in Portugal (A8) and sharing of Spanish experience in specific workshops
given by the partners TRAGSATEC (A7) and SEO (A9).
• Concrete Conservation: acquisition of trees (B1); application of management measures favorable to the
species conservation (C2) and correction of dangerous power lines (C6); preventing the illegal control of
predators, namely poisoning (C4) other illegal activities and disturbance (C3), construction of new nests and
reinforcing the existing ones (C1) and application of supplementary feeding protocols (C5).
• Awareness and dissemination: increase the awareness about the importance of its conservation
among the general public (E1 to E4, E7, E10 to E12) and among the stakeholders (E5, E6, E8, E9 and E13).

Conservação da Águia-imperial-ibérica (Aquila adalberti) em Portugal
LIFE13 NAT/PT/1300 - LIFE Imperial
Orçamento:
Total – € 2,475,460 Elegível – € 2,473,010
75% UE Co-financiamento – € 1,854,725
Duração: Início: 01/07/2014 – Fim: 31/12/2018
Legislação Europeia: Implementação da Directiva Aves da União
Europeia para proteção de uma espécie prioritária do Anexo I
4 ZPE: Castro Verde, Vale do
Guadiana, Mourão/Moura/Barrancos
e Tejo Internacional
Background: Actualmente, esta águia é considerada endémica da Península Ibérica. O tamanho da sua
população reprodutora é tão pequeno, devido a ameaças como a perda de habitat, declínio de presas e
ameaças antropogénicas (como o envenenamento, abate ilegal, eletrocussão e perturbação), que há um
elevado risco de extinção devido a factores ambientais imprevisíveis.
LIFE13 Kick-off Meeting, 10 Set. 2014, Madrid, Espanha
Miguel Geraldes
Objetivo: estabelecer as ferramentas base para assegurar o aumento da população de Águiaimperial em Portugal, e consequentemente da população global ibérica
a)Promover a manutenção e conservação do habitat, de modo a potenciar a sua recolonização natural
b)Melhorar a qualidade do habitat de nidificação, recuperar as espécies presa e aumentar a produtividade
c)Reduzir os factores que limitam o sucesso reprodutivo (ex: eletrocussão e envenenamento)
d)Aumentar a eficácia dos principais agentes com intervenção na protecção da espécie (ex: gestores, caçadores,
proprietários, decisores, birdwatchers, entidades de fiscalização e da magistratura)
e)Sensibilizar o público em geral e as partes interessadas (comunidades locais, operadores turísticos e fotógrafos
em particular) para a importância da conservação da espécie
Acções:
• Preparatórias: avaliação da qualidade do habitat (A2), avaliação do impacte dos predadores nas espécies
presa (A4) e das causas que limitam o estabelecimento de casais (A6); compilação da informação
indispensável à identificação das intervenções prioritárias e criação do SIG (A1), definição de Protocolos de
Colaboração e da Rede de Custódia da Natureza (A3) e elaboração do Plano de Ação Nacional (A5);
capacitação da GNR com Equipas Cinotécnicas para detecção de venenos pela primeira vez em Portugal (A8) e
partilha da experiência espanhola em formações específicas dadas pelos parceiros TRAGSATEC (A7) e SEO
(A9).
• Gestão Concreta: compra de árvores (B1); aplicação de medidas de gestão favorável à conservação da
espécie (C2) e correcção de linhas elétricas perigosas (C6), prevenção do controlo ilegal de predadores por
envenenamento (C4), outras atividades ilegais e da perturbação (C3); construção de novos ninhos e reforço
dos existentes (C1) e aplicação de protocolos de alimentação suplementar (C5).
• Sensibilização e disseminação: aumentar o conhecimento sobre a importância da sua conservação junto
