Work package 4 aims, amongst others, in analysing and identifying the institutional needs, the ecosystem services (ESS) and the status of good governance processes for a stronger implementation of the project results of ECONNECT and recharge.green. Relevant results from other Alpine Space and additional ETC projects (including those from other cooperation spaces) in the field of resource efficiency and ecosystem management will be considered to create possible synergies.

Direct interviews with the responsible person of each pilot area of greenAlps took place in the frame of site visits in each park. The following topics/questions were raised:

•    How is the management of the park and the legal structure organised?
•    How is the funding of the park organised?
•    Which are the main achievements from ECONNECT, recharge.green and other (EU-) projects?
•    What are the transnational needs in the respective pilot area considering institutional frameworks and interfaces between ecological connectivity and selected ecosystem services?
•    Analysis of gaps in conservation policies important for the integration of selected ecosystem services in the pilot areas inclusive qualitative contribution to the JECAMI tool (developed within ECONNECT).

The following site visits have been implemented by the work package leader team of EURAC and the respective outcomes are available for download:
