Measure Code: LDS 77.3.03
Measure Objectives
Green infrastructure is multi-functional, performing many functions within the same spatial area and providing several benefits to local communities. These include the protection of cultural heritage, conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, provision of open and recreational space amenities for local communities, increased carbon sequestration, improved flood water management and air quality regulation. The analysis of the territory and consultation findings has shown that the LAG territory has access to existing green infrastructure, with important natural and cultural heritage and requiring protection, whilst presenting several opportunities for further development of green infrastructure to improve the quality of life of the LAG communities.
This measure has therefore been designed to support projects that educate the public on the environment of the Majjistral territory and in consultation with relevant stakeholders, facilitate the development and implementation of green infrastructure within the LAG territory through the management and protection of biodiversity in rural areas and enhancement of open spaces in village core areas, in the outskirts of the same villages, as well as to provide an interconnected network of green spaces between localities. In this case, virtual reality trails can be integrated to complement and enhance the experience of nature connectedness and would especially be of benefit to people with mobility issues.
