Journal on Protected Mountain Areas Research and Management
The three-year EU project ECONNECT with 16 partners was one of the largest international projects for improving ecologic connectivity in the Alps. Gesäuse National Park was ECONNECT partner and took advantage of the project to initiate a transparent planning process for ecologic connectivity in the region, working closely with Kalkalpen National Park and Dürrenstein Wilderness Area and involving a variety of stakeholders to an unprecedented degree. 160 structured interviews and numerous working groups were held. As a result, it was possible to involve several large forest owners in starting a process of promoting near-natural forests in an effort to protect the white-backed woodpecker.
