(COMUNIS, Econnect)

COMUNIS recommends carrying out an environmental assessment when a commercial location is planned. Part of this planning (and later assessment) should also be preserving the corridors as linking elements of an Alpine ecological network (for safeguarding the high biodiversity of the Alps). Econnect has developed the JECAMI tool that can be used to identify areas important for the maintenance of ecological connectivity. These areas should be considered during an environmental assessment in order to enrich the basis for a decision.
