Alinyà, campaign in the valley of

Name Alinyà, campaign in the valley of
Description Interdisciplinary campaign coordinated by the Institució Catalana d'Història Natural, and funded by the Fundació Territori i Paisatge (Caixa de Catalunya). The aim was to increase the knowledge about the natural values of the valley of Alinyà (Catalonia, north-east of Spain) in order to apply this information to design a plan of management of the area. The FtiP recently became the owner of a vast part of the surface of the valley so that they are interested in a tool for monitoring changes.
The results will be published as a volume of the journal Treballs de la ICHN.
The malacological section of the museum was in charge of studying the mollusc fauna of the valley.
