EU LIFE Programme: Leading the Way in River Basin Restoration and Conservation 

Five magnificent projects show that the EU LIFE programme is instrumental in funding projects that improve ecological conditions and promote climate action across Europe. The EU LIFE programme funds projects that protect the environment and promote climate action across Europe. It supports innovative initiatives at local and regional levels, enabling projects that restore and conserve natural habitats, promote biodiversity and enhance resource efficiency. The programme helps translate EU policies into tangible actions that benefit the environment and communities.

Criteria for identifying free-flowing river stretches for the EU Biodiversity Strategy 2030

877

This document proposes criteria for identifying free-flowing rivers, taking into account longitudinal, lateral, and vertical connectivity at local and catchment scales.

Key elements of the method are (1) segmentation of the river into homogeneous reaches; (2) criteria for longitudinal, lateral, and vertical connectivity within a homogeneous reach; (3) a large-scale assessment taking into account sediment connectivity and migration barriers for target fish species; and (4) minimum length criteria to ensure hydromorphological processes and ecological functioning.his document proposes criteria for identifying free-flowing rivers, taking into account longitudinal, lateral, and vertical connectivity at local and catchment scales.

IUCN WPCA Europe - River Restoration Study Trip

1532

The aim of the two-day expert meeting is to exchange technical information on river engineering measures such as the restoration of side channels, the rehabilitation of banks and other ecological improvements in regulated river systems. There will also be time and space to discuss relevant issues in the field, such as the controversy surrounding habitat conservation and the promotion of dynamics in riparian systems.
