What is the immediate impact of expanding ski resorts on high-altitude biodiversity in the Alps?

A new study from Lipu and the University of Milan, published in "Biological Conservation," reveals that one in three ski slopes in the Alps overlaps with high-altitude climate refuges crucial for alpine biodiversity. This threatens species like the white partridge and alpine finch, whose habitats will increasingly shrink as ski resorts expand upward to maintain ideal snow conditions. The study projects that 69%-72% of these refuges will be occupied by ski slopes by 2070.

How did the negotiations unfold, and what were the main points of contention between member states and the European Commission?

Negotiations were particularly challenging, with Spain, France, and Italy initially opposing the European Commission's proposed 79% reduction in fishing days. The final agreement resulted in a smaller reduction (66% in Spanish and French waters, 38% in Italian and French waters) coupled with a compensation mechanism based on implementing conservation measures like improved mesh size and seasonal closures. This approach aims to balance conservation efforts with the economic needs of fishing communities.
