1 3 EU overseas entities (2 PT / 1 ES) Largest biodiversity reservoir of Europe: more than 5,600 endemics among 23,000 marine and terrestrial species Ecosystem profile for the Macaronesia overseas region Luisa Madruga, Francisco Wallenstein & José Azevedo Fundo Regional para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FRCT)
2 Total area Context 99% marine area > 3x size of Spain and Portugal together With the Azores being the largest of the ORs Population density Average 245/km 2 > double the pop. density of Portugal mainland Canaries are the most populated EU overseas with over 2 million inhabitants Average GDP per capita still lower than Portugal or Spain mainland hotel Riu Palace Madeira
3 Biological importance of the region Economy relies largely on natural resources and biodiversity Tourism Agriculture Fisheries Canary Is. Tourism ~ 15% of GAV while agriculture and fisheries remain important in Azores
4 Existing biodiversity 23,000 marine and terrestrial species, from which more than 5,600 endemics Azorina vidalii (EN) Azores 658 globally threatened species, 92% endemics At least 40% of endemics are known from only one site Pterodroma madeira (EN) Madeira Gallotia galloti (CR) Canaries Mycteroperca fusca (EN) Macaronesia Habitat degradation of Laurissilva: Reduction of native evergreen humid forest to < 20% of original cover has led species to extinction
5 Existing biodiversity
6 Existing biodiversity Some recent extinctions Haematopus meadewaldoi Canary Island oystercatcher (XX century) Emberiza alcoveri Escribano patilargo (recent)
7 Existing biodiversity Probable current extinctions Leyostila cassida (Madeira) Sculptiferussacia clausiliaeformis (Canary Is.) Pieris wollastoni (Madeira) Monilearia granostriata (Canary Is.) Leyostila cassidula (Madeira) Others (Canary Is.): Monilearia arguineguinensis Monilearia pulverulenta Atlantica guerinianus (Madeira)
8 Main threats and pressures on biodiversity habitat destruction fostered by human population growth (exacerbated by tourism), agriculture and forestry Alien species Giuseppe_Nerilli Jose_Ortiz Liftarn

17 Current investments in conservation Local level Significant effort in each off the archipelagos to establish a network of protected areas, as well as on implementing Natura 2000 Network MACARONESIA Nº Marine Land Area (ha) area (%) area (%) Protected areas Natura 2000 Network % 45% Other areas with conservation status Nº Area (ha) Important Bird Areas Biosphere Reserves Ramsar OSPAR Alliance for Zero Extinction 2 n.a Primary Butterfly Area 1 n.a Nélida Rodríguez
18 Current investments in conservation Local level Implemented LIFE-Nature projects in the region ( ) Nº Examples conservation of endemic birds, such as the Azorean bullfinch (Pyrrhula murina), the Gran Canaria blue chaffinch (Fringilla teydea polatzeki) and dark and white tailed laurel pigeons (Columba bolli, C. junoniae) 65 management and conservation of the Laurisilva Forest of Madeira recovery plans and reintroduction of the giant lizard of El Hierro (Gallotia simonyi machadoi) measures for the recovery of the monk seal (Monachus monachus) in the Atlantic and support projects for the conservation of the loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) and the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)
19 Critical areas for action and investment needs Baseline data collection & species assessment Distribution and abundance, assessment of conservation status Research Enhancement of coordinated research on local ecosystems and endemic species, as well as on invasive species
20 Critical areas for action and investment needs Habitat restoration & biodiversity maintenance Ecological restoration of natural habitats Jose_Ortiz Invasive alien species control Development of eradication/ control programmes
21 Priorities & investment niches Annual investment needs for Natura 2000 in Macaronesia (estimates for the period ) Macaronesia: million Azores Madeira Canary Islands 25.0 million 4.7 million million
22 Priorities & investment niches Species recovery plans (Canary Islands) Taxa Investment needs/year ( ) Arthropods 435,571 Birds 678,450 Molluscs 3,217,558 Plants 3,057,501 Reptiles 950,023 Total 12,101,012 Mammals and fish: to be estimated Monitoring conservation status For plants (population and phenology): 20,000/year/species Marcel Gil
23 Priorities & investment niches Creation of micro-reserves in areas of severely fragmented habitats (Madeira)
24 Priorities & investment niches Comprehensive mapping of marine habitat and species distribution (La Palma example)
25 Priorities & investment niches Study distribution of sperm whales on navigation channels to reduce ship strikes (Canary Islands) 400,000/one year project (estimated cost)
