The AlpsLife project assesses biodiversity across the Alps to identify urgent-need-to-act areas for conservation and restoration using three key maps and stakeholder input.
Recruitment characteristics of threatened wetland alpine plants
In this study we examine intraspecific variation for two critical aspects of plant recruitment – germination and seedling establishment – in relation to reduced snow cover, drought and warming.
REGENERATE project: pathways to go beyond sustainability. Experimenting with regenerative tourism approaches in four pilot mountain destinations.
Regenerative tourism in mountain areas fosters community empowerment, cultural heritage preservation and ecosystem regeneration, promoting a place-based approach making tourism a driver of well-being.

This study models about soil carbon sequestration reveals bamboo plantations as the highest contributors, offering crucial insights for climate mitigation and sustainable land-use planning.
RESALIO. Exploration of enhancement scenarios for the Trentino Stelvio National Park through the existing cable system
RESALIO explores strategies for landscape regeneration in the Trentino Stelvio National Park, leveraging cable mobility to foster sustainability, resilience, and open dialogue for transition.
Gender Equality in Science – a cornerstone for sustainable mountain futures in Central Asia
Since 2019 “Adventure of Science: Women and Glaciers in Central Asia” has been promoting sustainable mountain development by empowering women through annual, tuition-free glaciological expeditions.
Building a Coordinated Network for Wildlife Monitoring in National Parks: A Key Step Toward Enhancing Biodiversity Conservation
A coordinated monitoring network in Italy’s National Parks will standardize data collection, integrating diverse methods to improve biodiversity conservation and EU reporting.
Sediment flux and path-length validation in a large Alpine River: the Tagliamento
We combine field morphological measurements with numerical simulations to validate sediment movements in the Tagliamento River.
