In case of volunteers, thanks to its implication in plantation and refered to landowners for their commitment to properly mantain riversides and to avoid the development of alien species spots as in the case of Arundo Donax. + Results obtained by the removal of Arundo Donax have been diverse, depending on the area and the technique applied. + Plantation has been more effective for willows (Salix sp), poplars (Populus sp.), elms (Ulmus minor), mastic trees (Pistacia lentiscus) and rosebay (Nerium oleander). + A proper implementation of the plantations, a good size of the holes, the location of each plant and the time of plantig are essential for the succes of the works. + One of the most succesful achievements has been giving visibility to the problem and to the project and the social awareness about it.

This facilitated the subsequent transfer to the rest of the basin and other rivers with similar problems.

Increasing the river ecosystems continuity and permeability in order to restore its natural dynamics and the mobility of the species along the Segura and Moratalla rivers 2. Combating ecosystem degradation and fragmentation to restore their role as ecological corridors 3. Improving the ecological status along both rivers 4. Increasing biodiversity of fluvial and riparian ecosystems 5. Promoting social awareness 6. Disseminating knowledge and transferring the results to the Segura River Basin Management Plan and to other areas with similar environmental problems LIFE Segura Riverlink (Through rivers) life segura riverlink (through rivers) http://https://www.chsegura.es/chs/cuenca/segurariverlink/contacto/ No 54000 Segura C.
