This prize acknowledges the excellent, pioneering research performed in BUFFER. The project developed a new Regulation-Based Classification System for Marine Protected Areas. This system was already adopted by major international organizations as well as local management authorities.

We invite you to share it in your networks!

The BiodivERsA prize will be awarded on a yearly basis to showcase the achievements of BiodivERsA-funded projects that have produced excellent science with concrete impacts for policy and/or society.

  *   New BiodivERsA policy brief on “Green infrastructure within agricultural landscapes strengthens the supply of ecosystem services<http://www.biodiversa.org/1583>”. It presents how the results from the EC21C<http://www.biodiversa.org/1045>, FarmLand<http://www.biodiversa.org/117>, ECODEAL<http://www.biodiversa.org/1079>, APPEAL<http://www.biodiversa.org/87>, SmallFOREST<http://www.biodiversa.org/119> and CONNECT<http://www.biodiversa.org/88> projects provide evidence that increasing landscape diversity through green infrastructure (GI) can improve the supply of ecosystem services, looking at biocontrol and pollination, and that current EU and national agricultural policies fail to effectively support GI implementation in Member States. It further provides pathways for improving landscape heterogeneity and developing EU, national and local policies that support the development of GI and the uptake of such measures by farmers. These findings and recommendations are complementary to those presented in the brief titled “The Common Agricultural Policy can strengthen biodiversity and ecosystem services by diversifying agricultural landscapes<http://www.biodiversa.org/1237>”.
