Summary

The Windmill Hill Flats (WHF) area in Gibraltar has suffered biodiversity decline which is likely to be continuing due to the presence of invasive plants and animals, but the actual impact is unknown. This project will conduct ecological surveys to inform best practices to reduce threats, improve ecosystem functioning, increase species diversity and facilitate participatory meetings involving local community and NGOs. Outcomes will include guidelines for WHF habitat restoration and training of local environment officers in biodiversity survey techniques.
