By doing so, it supports viable wildlife populations, preserves vital ecosystem services, strengthens climate resilience, and promotes human well-being.
NaturaConnect – A consortium project with EUROPARC Federation as one of its leads, supports countries in designing and developing a blueprint for a truly coherent Trans-European Nature Network (TEN-N) of conserved areas that protect at least 30% of land in the European Union, with at least one third of it under strict protection.

It uses the vast African-Eurasian flyway, linking Africa, Europe and Asia, to mobilize funds, build local capacity, and ensure sustainable management for these vital bird routes and the communities they support.
Journeys for Life – Connectivity is essential for migratory species, and cities play a crucial role in protecting these species and fostering ecological connectivity. Journeys for life is global initiative of ICLEI that empowers cities to take action in conservation, raise awareness, and engage communities in protecting migratory species.
World Database on Ecological Corridors – UNEP-WCMC, in collaboration with partners is developing a World Database on Ecological Corridors (WDEC) as part of the Protected Planet initiative. The WDEC will provide a global platform to document and track the location and characteristics of ecological corridors, helping to identify key gaps in ecological networks and to assess progress towards connectivity-related commitments.
