No full textHet gebruik van verspreidingsgegevens bij ruimtelijke analyses
No full textUitleg over minimum levensvatbare populaties in relatie tot de habitatgrootte, metapopulaties en het belang van de ruimtelijke configuratie van versnipperd habitat voor de duurzame aanwezigheid van soorten, ruimtelijke analysetechnieken en kennissystemen voor het clusteren van leefgebieden tot netwerken en het bepalen van de draagkracht van netwerken (LARCH: LandschapsAnalyse en Regels voor de Configuratie van Habitats), en het belang van nauwkeurige verspreidingsgegevens (actueel en historisch) hierbij. Als voorbeeld onderzoeken naar verspreiding en habitat(netwerken) van roerdomp en adder, en ruimtelijke analyses voor de samenhang van heide, stuifzand en duin, en het effect van wegen op de duurzame aanwezigheid van de zandhagedis op de Utrechtse Heuvelru
WS1 evaluation of methodology, protocols and case studies, with stakeholder recommendations
No full textThe BESAFE project organized its first stakeholder meeting at INBO in Brussels on 23 and 24 May 2013. Committed stakeholder involvement is central to BESAFE’s success, and the intention of this first workshop was to get initial feedback as well as to involve stakeholders in a brainstorm about the requirements for the practical use of, and access to, our future results. Initial results and the chosen framework and case study setup were presented at the start of the workshop. Stakeholders were then asked about their own experiences with argumentation and their views on the possible formats and uses for BESAFE results. The major recommendations were to concentrate our effort on people arguing for biodiversity to make sure to use the right ‘tailored’ approach and language for different user groups, and to advise the right combination of arguments for different situations. Stakeholders also emphasized not to forget that people relate to biodiversity in emotional as well as rational ways, and that the process of developing coalitions and collaborations needs time to run its course. The recommended tailored approach should especially take effect in the BESAFE web tool, in the development of which nearly all stakeholders are interested in taking part

Climate change effects on the biodiversity of the BES islands : assessment of the possible consequences for the marine and terrestrial ecosystems of the Dutch Antilles and the options for adaptation measures
No full textDue to their vulnerability and low capacity to adapt, the impact of climate change on small island nations will be far larger compared to larger countries. The Dutch BES islands (Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba) form part of the Caribbean global biodiversity hotspot area. The leeward Dutch islands alone possess some 200 endemic species and subspecies and the three islands count over 120 species that are on the CITES appendices. Since the economy of the Dutch Antilles depends for a large part on tourism and tourism on its turn for a large part on the natural capital of the islands, impacts of climate change on biodiversity will therefore also have important economical consequences. In this report we review and assess possible consequences of climate change for the biodiversity of the BES islands and present various options for adaptation. It is quite clear that climate change not only poses a severe threat to the ecosystems of the islands, but also to the totality of benefits and services the inhabitants of these islands derive from those ecosystems
