La Moldavie a class\u00e9 environ 8% de son territoire au sein du r\u00e9seau Emerald.<\/p>\n
Together with the UN Development Programme, UN Environment Programme, and GRID-Geneva, the Government of Moldova aims to effectively manage biodiversity conservation both within and outside of protected areas. Spatial data, including earth observation, has been deployed in order to monitor and maintain the ecological integrity of Moldova’s ecosystems.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t
<\/p>\n
Relative to it’s size, Moldova has rich biota, with over 80 species of mammals including\u00a0wild boar, wolves, badgers, wildcats, and roe deer. Approximately 15% of Moldova remains natural vegetation cover. The terrain stretches across three eco-regions: the Central-European mixed forests, the Pontic steppe and the East European forest steppe. Within these eco-regions, Moldova has recorded 484 rare plant and animal species protected by the State.\u00a0To protect this diversity, 52 Emerald Sites and 30 Emerald Habitats have been established to protect 152 Emerald Species.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Le R\u00e9seau \u00c9meraude est un r\u00e9seau d'aires prot\u00e9g\u00e9es r\u00e9parties dans toute l'Europe, dont l'objectif est de pr\u00e9server la flore et la faune sauvages ainsi que leurs habitats naturels. Il a \u00e9t\u00e9 lanc\u00e9 en 1989 par le Conseil de l'Europe dans le cadre de ses travaux men\u00e9s au titre de la Convention relative \u00e0 la conservation de la vie sauvage et du milieu naturel en Europe (Convention de Berne), entr\u00e9e en vigueur le 1er juin 1982.<\/p>\n\t

These sites help to preserve habitats and species of European importance. Among them are the lady’s-slipper orchid (Cypripedioideae), the barbastelle bat (Barbastella barbastellus<\/em>), le grand papillon cuivr\u00e9 (Lycaena dispar<\/em>) et le pic noir (Dryocopus martius<\/em>). Moldova has over 257 species of resident and migratory birds, with over 80 of these migratory species occurring in Moldova’s wetland areas. Thus, protecting these habitats is critical to the success of the Emerald Network.<\/p>\n\t\n\t <\/p>\n Spatial data plays a key role in monitoring and identifying\u00a0in situ\u00a0conservation, and in assessing threats to biodiversity and ecosystems. Analyses such as species population densities and areas at risk of deforestation or land conversion can help inform the level to which the Emerald Network protects both habitats and species.
