Green infrastructure (GI) is increasingly prioritised in landscape policy and planning due to its potential benefit ecosystems enhance wildlife conservation. However, the uneven distribution of protected areas (PAs) fragmentation habitats more generally, multi-level strategies are needed create an integrated GI network bridging national, regional local scales. In province Almeria, southeastern Spain, mainly threatened by two land use/land cover changes. On one hand, there advance intensive greenhouse agriculture, which, between 1984 2007, increased surface area than 58%. other growth artificial surfaces, including urban (+64%), construction sites (+194%) road infrastructures (+135%). To address this challenge, we present a proposal for green deployment Almeria.
