What is the Mediterranean Biodiversity Community?
The Mediterranean Biodiversity Protection Community (MBPC) brings together researchers, managers, public authorities and environmental institutions in 15 thematic projects under the umbrella of 1 horizontal initiative for the Mediterranean called PANACeA from 2016 to 2019, with renewed support as MBPC until 2022.More about it
Maps and spatial data
Where is the Mediterranean Biodiversity Community present? What are the results?
More than 240 organizations are involved in the Interreg Mediterranean projects related to biodiversity protection in the Mediterranean at various scales. Through our data platform you will be able to locate the institutions involved, discover the geographic areas of work and access the data collected by these projects, with over 150 entries available from our spatial data catalogue addressing biodiversity species, pressures, impacts, governance and more. In addition, our thematic maps and interactive viewers will quickly display relevant statistics and key messages on these topics. And if you prefer a more narrative style of communication, the available story maps will present key outputs of the modular projects and other initiatives related to the community.

Catalogue of Tools
Streamlining management efforts in protected areas for better nature conservation in the Mediterranean
How to take advantage of the work done within the Mediterranean Biodiversity Community?
The Mediterranean community of nature conservation actors is mainstreaming management efforts for environmental sustainability and increasing the impact of biodiversity protection projects, moving forward networking and management efforts inside and outside protected areas (PAs), and so enhance nature conservation and management in the region. The tools included in this Catalogue teach lessons learned and work methods already put into practice by the community partners.More about it
