The representatives from several Alpine countries discussed methods and work steps for achieving the two ambitious objectives entrusted to the Board by the Alpine ministers during the XV Alpine Conference: to undertake a stock-taking analysis of relevant biodiversity and landscape strategies, guidelines and policy recommendations for Alpine countries, as well as to develop a system of priorities and targets for joint action in the field of Alpine biodiversity.
