Objective Europe's mountain biodiversity is central to Natural 2000 and the European Biodiversity Strategy. Decline in agricultural use in mountain areas has dramatic biodiversity consequences including threats to priority species and semi-natural habitats but also opportunities for reintroduction of large mammals and habitat restoration. The project objective is to develop and evaluate strategies for reconciling conservation of mountain biodiversity with declining agriculture. Options for conservation of priority species and habitats are configured into three conceptual policy scenarios; business as usual, managed decline and biodiversity enhancement. Biodiversity consequences are predicted using advanced ecological modelling. Scientific, economic and policy feasibility and public acceptability are evaluated through an innovative sustainability appraisal. Practical outputs are ensured through the participation of stakeholder panels.
