This month's LIFEnews includes a review of projects' from around the EU supporting the multifunctionality of Europe's Green Infrastructure, as well as a detailed interview with the coordinator of a successful Austrian project which has demonstrated new techniques for tackling transport pollution.
Coastal and marine environments form the focus of our project reviews in the March edition of LIFEnews. This month we take a look at the diverse range of LIFE projects supporting European coastal zones and we also venture further offshore for an in-depth discussion with the project manager of a pioneering Spanish project which is expanding the Natura network's protective reach out into our seas.

February's LIFEnews focuses on the programme's support for EU species which favour life in Europe's mountain and upland environments. A review article draws attention to the diversity of different project level activity at higher altitudes and a case study from Italy demonstrates a more in-depth example of LIFE's mountain assistance for endangered species in the Apennines.
In this special end-of-year edition we spoke to the heads of the two LIFE Units: Angelo Salsi, Head of the LIFE Nature Unit, who has spent much of the last year overseeing progress on the two LIFE + Components and preparing the ground for the next period of LIFE Programme funding from 2014-2020.
We also interviewed Hervé Martin, head of the LIFE Environment and Eco-Innovation Unit, who spoke about the new regulation increasing the amount of funding for the programme and introducing a new climate change aspect.
