More than 400 \u2013 over a third \u2013 of the threatened species listed in the Birds and Habitats Directives have been the focus of at least one LIFE project.<\/p>\n<p>LIFE funding has financed more than 1 000 management plans across the Natura 2000 network. These are important steps in the struggle to prevent biodiversity loss. Other projects have created species corridors and urban wildlife habitats, introduced climate change adaptation measures, supported ecosystem services, and helped raise business awareness about the importance of biodiversity. More than 100 LIFE projects have helped deal with invasive alien species, targeting species like American mink, Japanese knotweed and several types of non-native crayfish.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Union provides funding for environmental and nature conservation projects through its\u00a0LIFE Programme.
