-==== Background AlpES project ====
-Ecosystems and their services go beyond national borders and need a transnational approach for their dynamic protection, sustainable use, management and risk prevention. As a basis for joint action, public authorities, policy makers, NGOs, researchers and economic actors – the AlpES target groups – need a common understanding of ecosystem services, comparable information on their status and support in using appropriate tools for integrating them in their fields of work. The **AlpES** project’s overall objective is to introduce ecosystem services as a regional/transnational environmental governance framework.
-Different key actors from the Alpine Space will be involved in the project development. In close collaboration with stakeholders, AlpES:
-  - develops an Alpine ecosystem services concept,
-  - carries out a mapping and assessment of ecosystem services for the Alpine Space area,
-  - makes the results available on the internet to the stakeholders for analytical purposes,
-  - and ensures a multi-level and cross-sectoral transfer of AlpES results to the stakeholders via innovative, tailored and transferable learning tools and targeted activities.
-In order to accomplish these goals, AlpES develops an interactive, internet based Geographic Information System (**WebGIS**), integrates the already existing Wiki **WIKIAlps** into the project, and organizes workshops.
