Through 2024, the cantons laid the foundations for their ecological infrastructure. In the Canton of Bern, this project defined regionalized goals and priority areas based on the current state of the planned core and connectivity areas. Priority areas indicate where existing core areas and connectivity areas should be maintained or improved, and where new areas should be established.  

Technical planning was carried out in close collaboration with the agencies concerned. Actual implementation of the ecological infrastructure falls under the revision of the sectoral plan for biodiversity and was not part of this project.
