The Conservatoire du Littoral has been coordinating , since 2005, an international programme for the promotion and assistance for the management of Mediterranean insular micro-spaces, known as the PIM Initiative for the Mediterranean Small islands, which is co-financed by the Fonds Français pour l’Environnement Mondial (FFEM) (French Global Environment Facility), the Agence de l’Eau Rhône Méditerranée-Corse and the city of Marseilles. The PIM initiative is developing a mechanism for the exchange and sharing of knowledge which is necessary for the emergence of good management practices of exceptional spaces. The Albatross project has been set up within the framework of this programme to enhance the knowledge of Mediterranean nesting bird species. To update the knowledge on these species, the PIM initiative has coordinated the preparation of monographs for each of the project species.
