The 3rd International Symposium of the Pan-European Ecological Network (Riga, 4 October 2002) focused on habitat fragmentation and ecological corridors. Two main questions were considered. What is the current situation regarding habitat fragmentation in Europe? And what should be done about biological corridors? The symposium could not answer these questions fully, but it offered an opportunity to pool experience connected with the work on biological corridors already under way at the Council of Europe. Taking case studies as a starting point, it set out to pinpoint the policies and practical measures needed to check habitat fragmentation.
