Durante los días 15 al 17 de Junio el equipo de Life+ARCOS se mueve a Holanda para participar en una reunión promovida por NEEMO, el organismo que supervisa el desarrollo de proyectos LIFE, junto con ECNC.

En la reunión hemos presentado algunos aspectos del enfoque de conservación  ex situ-in situ que se desarrolla desde el proyecto, dando una especial importancia a la restauración de la biodiversidad dunar, a partir de las semillas de especies dunares que hemos conservado en los bancos de semillas del proyecto.

Aquí tenéis el pograma de la reunión en la que aparecen varios de los proyectos de restauración dunar que están financiados por el programa europeo LIFE.
