    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.
