Περιγραφή
Invited delegations from Member States and stakeholder organisations will debate governance, efficiency, restoration and financing of the network on 24 February afternoon in closed sessions.
On 25 February, participants will further discuss their findings and share best practice relevant in particular for disseminating knowledge on Natura 2000, using the Natura 2000 logo to advertise sustainable management of sites, and stepping up restauration. A Ministerial session will be held in parallel. All participants will gather for a closing session where Ministers will present the outcomes of their session, partners of the LIFE IP Biodiv’Est will launch their project, the Commission will disclose the finalists for the 2022 Natura 2000 Awards and open the voting phase for the Citizens Award.
Sharing experience with the community working on Natura 20000 is key: a collaborative page is available for all to upload short documents or data and advertise results and projects they suggest are best practice for the management of Natura 2000. It is open for everybody to upload. The wiki page can be found here. Access is granted following the creation of an EU Login account.
