Programmes

The main objective of the Territory Programme is the conservation and restoration of the territory in order to improve the functioning and resilience of ecosystems and their biodiversity, thereby helping to mitigate and adapt to the impact of climate change.

To achieve this objective, the Territory Programme focuses on several types of project:

• Environmental restoration: to improve the functioning and resilience of ecosystems and their biodiversity.
• Nature-Based Solutions: promoting the sustainable and ethical use of ecosystems in order to preserve biodiversity, in a context of adaptation to climate change.
• Science communication: with special emphasis on Mediterranean inland aquatic ecosystems, aimed both at the general public and at an academic audience through scientific papers.
• Animal welfare: protection, training and awareness-raising about the animal world.
• Land stewardship: supporting voluntary initiatives for the conservation of nature, the landscape and cultural heritage on private and public estates.

The Research Programme focuses on both basic and applied research into ecosystems and their biodiversity.

It promotes research projects on Mediterranean ecosystems in Catalonia, with special emphasis on inland aquatic ecosystems, through observational and experimental studies aimed at improving the knowledge and preservation of these ecosystems, their biodiversity and their species.

To achieve this objective, both material and personnel support is given to organisations, associations and research groups that collaborate with Fundació Bionexus and share its founding purpose.
