Abstract

Protected areas are essential providers of ecosystem services for human well-being. However, the transfer of these services across the landscape remains underexplored, particularly in mountainous and diverse regions. The Reconnect project adopts a social-ecological perspective to examine how ecosystem service bundles change within and beyond protected areas. Using fine-scale models such as InVEST, connectivity algorithms, and literature-based approaches, we assessed service bundles linked to social values in the Grenoble region, a complex mountain landscape. We evaluated connectivity changes through functional buffers based on anthropogenic pressures and landscape constraints. Our findings indicate that Grenoble’s landscape is generally well-connected, but connectivity varies across protected areas and their borders, where it often declines. This framework supports biodiversity strategies and assesses policy impacts like the Nature Restoration Law on landscape connectivity and human well-being.
