MOVE pilot project is coordinated by FRCT, with the regional collaboration of the Regional Directorate for the Environment and the University of the Azores.
The FRCT has extensive experience in coordinating and participating in European programs in different areas. FRCT was the coordinator of NetBiome CSA project and regional coordinator of the Macaronesian Hub of the BEST III project, promoting successfully the involvement of multiple partners and stakeholders from European entities in the area of tropical and subtropical biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Action 5 of the EU Biodiversity Strategy urges Member States to map and assess the state of ecosystems and their services in their national territory.

MOVE pilot project intends to involve policy makers, researchers and the civil society in the development of methodologies for mapping and assessing the state of ecosystems and their services in ORs and OCTs.

The project will start by assessing the state of the art of the MAES (Mapping and Assessing Ecosystem Services) exercise within the participating overseas regions, and by inventorying and motivating the human and material capacities present in each of them. In addition to producing a tangible contribution for the MAES exercise, this project aims to demonstrate the possibility and the added value of a bottom-up approach, involving and capacitating local actors.If successful, this project will allow testing and implementing the MAES methodology in different regions of the world, providing methodologies and good practice guidelines and contributing to a worldwide EU leadership in this area.
