Zielsetzung und Anlass des Vorhabens

The project aims at the conservation of a transboundary ecological network along the border of Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Kosovo, FYR Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Turkey and Romania through en-hancement of cooperation along the Balkan Green Belt. In addition, the project aims at strengthening the cross-border exchange and collaboration between CSOs working along the Balkan Green Belt.
Objectives of the project are as following:
• To raise the profile of the Balkan Green Belt and the awareness of the importance of biodiversity conservation and ecological networks in the region and beyond.
• To improve transboundary cooperation along the Balkan Green Belt through increased regional sup-port to the initiative and its objectives by coordinating a regional process with particular involvement of partner organisations.
• To improve the basis of decision-making and awareness-raising on biodiversity and protected areas along the Balkan Green Belt.
The foreseen activities will contribute to improved protection of the biodiversity along the Balkan Green Belt and will foster stability among Balkan countries through cross-border cooperation.
