Regional information campaign on Natura 2000 areas in Montana region

The project implements Measure 15 “Organisation and implementation of innovative environmental events” and measure 33 “Planning and conducting supporting information campaigns aimed at stakeholders” of the National Priority Framework for Action for NATURA 2000 (NPAD) 2014-2020. By its very nature, the project is the organisation and implementation of a regional information campaign involving several thematic events aimed at pre-identified stakeholders in the Montana region, identified on the basis of expert analysis. The project will be implemented on the territory of Montana district and 21 protected areas are subject to the regional information campaign, 10 of which are fully located in Montana region (BG0002006 “Fisheries Orsoya”, BG0002090 “Berkovitsa”, BG0002104 “Tibar marsh”, BG0002008 “Island to Gorni Tsibar”, BG0002007 “Isle of Ibisha”, BG0001037 “Pustrina”, BG0000336 “Golden”, BG0000509 “Cybritza”, BG0000519 “Mominbrod swamp” and BG0000526 “Dolno Linevo”). The main result of the project is expected to be expressed in building positive attitudes, capacity and knowledge among stakeholders and in general among the general public of the NATURA 2000 network, based on the opportunities it provides at local level, to be perceived as a valuable and important potential, rather than a restriction. Ultimately, this will lead to a shared vision of the NATURA 2000 ecological network and to support the achievement of a better conservation status of the species and habitats subject to conservation.
