Protecting biodiversity in Sicily-Malta Natura2000 sites through Seed Banks and population reinforcement

SIMASEED aims to contribute to arrest the loss of biodiversity and to promote a transborder sustainable development, improving the conservation status of wild flora and promoting its use in environmental restoration and in the nursery sector. These objectives will be achieved through the seeds conservation in germplasm banks (ex situ conservation strategy), the macro- and micropopagation of the targeted species and the restocking (in situ conservation strategy) of their populations in threatened natural habitats of Natura 2000 network.
