LIFE ARTEMIS LIFE15 GIE/SI/000770

Lead organisation: Slovenian Forestry Institute (Gozdarski inštitut Slovenije) (Academic)

The LIFE ARTEMIS project aims to contribute to the reduction of the harmful impacts of IAS on biodiversity by increasing public awareness and by setting up an efficient early warning and rapid response (EWRR) system to manage their impacts on forests.

Policy uptake explanation

The project will contribute significantly to achieving Target 5 of the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020, specifically in terms of identifying IAS and their pathways by 2020, controlling or eradicating priority species and managing pathways to prevent the introduction and establishment of new IAS. The project will also directly contribute to the implementation of the Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species (Regulation (EU) No. 1143/2014) and to the EU Forest Strategy: for forests and the forest-based sector (COM (2013) 659 final).
