The

connectivity of natural and semi-natural landscape elements and large-scale

landscape areas is becoming increasingly important in our rapidly sprawled,

fragmented, and intensified landscape. Connectivity conservation and

restoration will require some consistent form of assessment and monitoring to

be able to evaluate the needs for action and any progress made.

This

symposium welcomes contributions to local and regional projects aiming at

identifying and restoring connectivity approaches to monitoring, e.g., using

landscape metrics, and on the integration of connectivity in landscape planning.
