| Content Summary | Six threatened to extinction species of European Community priority and one priority habitat (Palm groves of Phoenix), were selected. Plant species included perennials (Androcymbium rechingeri (a lily), Bupleurum kakiskalae (a carrot family member), Cephalanthera cucullata (an orchid), Hypericum aciferum (a St John's wort relative), Nepeta sphaciotica (a labiate) and the annual Anthemis glaberrima (a chamomilesmall daisy). Four of them (Bupleurum kakiskalae, Cephalanthera cucullata, Hypericum aciferum, Nepeta spaciotica) growsurvive in White Mountains. The project includes the following measures: mapping of the areas, installation of permanent, monitoring plots for the studying of various biotic and abiotic factors that affect their conservation, certain managerial measures (fencing, wardening, informative signs, etc.), ex situ conservation in three botanical gardens (A xerothermic plant garden at MAICh and two alpine gardens at the facilities offered in Omalos & Poria by Samaria National Park − Biosphere Reserve) and in the Seed Bank of MAICh.

The legal aspects of micro−reserve implementa− tion are also discussed within the project, since micro− reserves will act as a pilot tool for other areas that host threatened biodiversity. The project is used to draw ideas on the bridging of protected areas, such as National Parks, and Biosphere Reserves with the rest of the world. | en |
