WG1 – Small-medium island ecosystems: natural capital assessment

This WG will evaluate the relation between biodiversity and natural capital on small-medium islands.
This will be achieved by:

• i) building a database on presence, abundance and distribution of insular biodiversity in Europe (habitats and taxonomic groups);
• ii) building a database with direct and indirect current and future threats for islands’ natural capital; and
• iii) performing an assessment of natural assets on islands.
