| Description |
The Project aims:
- Help in establishment of the Carpathian Network of Protected Areas and Ramsar Sites,
- the support to the existing CNPA Steering Committee, using an example of the Alpine Network of Protected Areas, or MedWet Initiative working under the Ramsar Convention;
- establishment of a node for co-ordination of the Network on national level;
- support for publicity, using web-site, maps, the proposed Carpathian News Briefs (e-mail communication tool) and existing journal Carpathi, issued in Slovakia by Association of Carpathian National Parks and Protected Areas (ACANAP);
- cooperation by organising of the meetings of the Steering Committee members and representatives of protected areas of all Carpathian countries in Slovakia to decide on ways of collaboration in sustainable development and biodiversity protection within Carpathian Mountains.
- The project leads to an efficient management tool for the sharing experience, exchange and co-operation with all national parks, protected landscapes, biosphere reserves, Ramsar sites and other important protected areas in the region, with aim to address priority needs for biodiversity protection, protected areas conservation and management, establishment of Natura 2000, collaborative Ramsar network and other European networks in Carpathians, and capacity building in nature conservation.
The purpose of this project is to institutionalise cooperation and coordination of Carpathian countries in nature protection, initiate common projects between several protected areas (twinnings, partnership agreements...), to integrate the local population in sustainable local and regional development, to lead a reflection on the forms and types protected areas with the national and international authorities and to support initiation of training activities. |

| Description |
The project will analyse and consolidate the information base, develop strategies and policy instruments, and implement pilot activities, in continuous cooperation with local, regional and national stakeholders.
The project generates a comprehensive data platform through preparation of the Carpathian Atlas and collection of environmental information, which will be consolidated in databases and made publicly accessible through the project website's GeoPortal. A general strategic process produces multisectoral strategic environmental assessments which supported with deepened analysis of key socio-economic sectors will result in a Carpathian Spatial Development Vision and a Carpathian Environmental Outlook. Policy instruments and strategies will be tested and improved through pilot projects and actions. The objective of the Carpathian Project is to enhance the sustainable development of the Carpathian region based on its rich natural and cultural heritage. The project will integrate European spatial development policies with the management of the Carpathians’ fragile mountain ecosystems in a transnational context. The historically marginalized mountain regions partly situated in remote border areas should nowadays become powerful unifiers across borders between nations and peoples, in one of the most dynamically developing regions of Europe. Experiences e.g. of the Alpine space demonstrate that mountains can offer considerable potentials for development respecting the value of rich natural and cultural heritage and its preservation for the future.
The project builds on the transnational framework established by the Carpathian Convention to apply EU policies through the Carpathian region. |
