The Alpine Presidia system of the Alpes Workshop Zone: a tool and an approach for successful adaptation

Abstract

Sentinel Alpine pastures, Sentinel Lake, Sentinel Refuges, Sentinel Flora and ORCHAMP Observatory are the names of the five long-term observation devices of the structuring project "Sentinels of the Alps". Supported by the Zone atelier Alpes, a meeting place for researchers and territorial managers, this project aims in particular to make known the good practices identified and raise awareness among managers, communities and citizens of the links between lifestyles and environmental dynamics.
