Ecological Infrastructure Greater Geneva

This data set presents the data produced to identify the green infrastructure in a cross-border, urbanized territory between Switzerland and France in the area of influence of the city of Geneva. The first part of the methodology consists on calculating and mapping the inputs aggregated in four pillars: i) the distribution of habitats as well the predicted distribution of hundreds of plant and animal species, ii) the supply of five ecosystem services, iii) the functional connectivity for three animal species and the light pollution and iv) five indices of the landscape’s structure. These inputs are then used to run a prioritization model to identify the areas with the highest ecological interest according to these weighted inputs.
