Invasive Alien Species and their Impact on our Landscapes

twinspace-logo

Our project was born in the context of 2018 European Year of Cultural Heritage and the publication by Europe of a list of invasive alien species as one of the targets of the ‘EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020’. The project will run for 2 years (2018-2020) with 4 partners: Belgium, Sweden, Portugal and Slovenia. It aims, through a scientific, cultural, geographical, environmental, socio-economic and historical approach, at raising people’s knowledge and awareness of both the issue of Invasive Alien Species (IAS) and the impact it has on biodiversity and landscapes and the importance of the preservation of Natural Cultural Heritage in Europe, focusing on a particular type of landscape in each country: urban landscapes in Belgium, coastal landscapes in Portugal, forest landscapes in Slovenia and marine landscapes in Sweden.
