First sampling season of the TRASNFOrm project in Val Venosta/Vinschgau is done!🌳Our 10 sites are among the few traditional orchard meadows left in South Tyrol (IT), which have declined >90% since 1950s—a heritage worth conserving. #Vinschgau #OrchardMeadows #TRANSFOrmProject

This week, #TRANSFORM was presented at the IALE 2025 European Landscape Ecology Congress in Bratislava 🗺️

Eleonora Palmeri (University of Verona) introduced the project’s objectives, shared the planned activities, and highlighted the institutions involved in #TRANSFORM 🐝

Just back from the HUMANITA Summer School in Villach: an inspiring week on how European regions monitor tourism impacts in protected areas. Lots of useful insights for the TRANSFOrm project on agroforestry systems and nature-based solutions, plus valuable new connections!
