They contain large quantities of dead wood and are a refuge for many species of flora and fauna. Despite their rarity (they cover only 1-3% of European forests), their protection is inadequate, and their area is constantly shrinking.<\/p>\n<p>The European legislation demands mapping and strict protection of all old-growth forests in Europe (100%). Where are they? We search for this treasure in the wild heart of Greece, the roadless areas.<\/p>\n<p>The project is an initiative of the Lab, but it is partially funded by INTEGRADIV international project (Biodiversa funding scheme).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7805\" src=\"https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/6.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7806\" src=\"https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/7-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/7-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/7-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/7-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/7-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/7.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7807\" src=\"https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-7808\" src=\"https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/bc.lab.uoi.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/2.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Lab has started a pilot project on the value of Roadless Areas for the conservation of Old-Growth Forests.
