“…In combination these methods have the potential to reveal patterns, conflicts and synergies within and between policies and are thus often used in analysing legal documents. Critical reviews and thematic classifications of European legislation and policy have previously been applied to identify gaps in current academic research (O'Connell and Yallop, 2002), adaptive capacity to climate change (Pettersson and Keskitalo, 2011), and the compliance of protected areas with international legislation (Mauerhofer, 2011).…”

“…These plans often audit protected and non-protected species and/or sites, even though the focus tends to be on the former. Information and vertical integration gaps make it difficult to comply with European biodiversity legislation (Henle et al, 2013;Mauerhofer, 2011;O'Connell and Yallop, 2002). So, complying with duties to protect non-listed species and sites may be unlikely.…”

What are the European legal duties to conserve biodiversity in university campuses?Abstract Biodiversity is a key element of sustainable development in university campuses. However, integrating biodiversity in campuses requires strategic planning, beyond minimum compliance with protected species and habitats legislation. This leads to the questions: which university functions impact on biodiversity and what obligations are there under European environmental law for universities to consider biodiversity strategically? University functions and their consequent impacts were classified thematically into four and seven categories respectively. These categories were used to systematically search the Environmental Legislation Update Service and EUR-Lex for relevant legislation, which was also classified. Universities undertake capital projects, building alterations, grounds maintenance, and outdoor activities. These functions may cause loss, damage, disturbance, introductions, pollution to, and overuse of, biodiversity. Legislation applying to these impacts spans wildlife, plant health, planning, and pollution prevention disciplines. The interdisciplinary legal framework for biodiversity presents compliance and integration challenges, such as overlooking legislation or duplicating efforts. This article will help those involved in university management, teaching and research to identify and integrate in their work the relevant legal obligations on biodiversity.

“…Although they do enact Multilateral Environmental Agreements (MEAs), which in the following have to be implemented by the provinces (Mauerhofer, 2008b). Either way, the (theoretically unifying) influence of widely acknowledged MEAs focusing on biodiversity is rather limited in Austria, as they -though legally binding -mostly lack an effective implementation mechanism and are often formulated quite vaguely (Mauerhofer, 2011).…”

“…Stakeholder involvement can also be of advantage when defining conservation priorities. For this purpose, transnational conservation initiatives such as the European Habitat and Birds Directives as well as biodiversity-related Multilateral Environmental Agreements have to be innovatively applied (Mauerhofer 2010(Mauerhofer , 2011 along with local or national assessments (e.g. national red lists, assessment of global conservation responsibilities).…”
