Objective
The objective of this Life project is to elaborate the technical and legal groundwork allowing effective conservation of the thirteen endangered plant species in the Aragón region. The basic task is to improve knowledge on the species' conservation status and the factors threatening their populations, carry out surveys and monitoring of these populations and improve, where necessary, their situation .
To this end, actions will be carried out in the field in the Laguna de Gallocanta Special Protection Area. Work will begin on setting up a germ plasm bank and on refining techniques for the reproduction and cultivation of the species. Protection will be further reinforced by the establishment of integral reserves, more effective surveillance and the formulation of recovery plans, endowed with a legal status, for the species. The project will target information and awareness campaigns at the local inhabitants and also develop new approaches to the conservation of threatened plant species.
Thirteen plant species listed on Annex II of the Habitats Directive are found in the Aragón region, three of which are priority species. Twelve of these species are endemic to the Iberian Peninsula; six have their world distribution area located entirely in Aragón and the other six have their most important Spanish populations in this region. All thirteen enjoy legal protection and are included on Aragon's Red List.
The main threats to these plants' survival are the instability inherently associated with small populations, which can lead to their disappearance, and changes to their habitats caused by human activity.
