LIFE Resilias prevents dominance of invasive alien species, by the resilience of forest and nature to strengthen
In project LIFE Resilias, we will work for seven years on systemic nature restoration to break and prevent the dominance of invasive alien species. The aim of the project is to strengthen the resilience of ecosystems in forest and natural areas to the extent that they can better resist invasive alien species (IAS).
A unique approach, because people usually choose to fight the exotic species. With the ecosystem approach in LIFE Resilias, we focus very specifically on strengthening forests and nature so that invasive species do not have a chance to threaten native flora and fauna.
Opportunities and possibilities of a resilient ecosystem
Partners Bosgroep Zuid Nederland and Stichting Bargerveen show in the project the opportunities and possibilities, if you choose to strengthen the resilience of forest and nature areas. The project is possible thanks to the European Union's LIFE programme.
European policy on invasive alien species has three strategies; prevention, early recognition & rapid removal and management. The focus of LIFE Resilias is on the sustainable management of ecosystems in which invasive alien species are present. The uniqueness of this project is that we emphasise the proper functioning of the existing ecosystems, rather than constantly fighting the alien species. A nice bonus is that by doing so, we are also working on preventing the establishment of new alien species.
