Task description:
We will get in contact with European organizations implementing similar LIFE projects and visit their protected areas. Past project experiences of other organizations will help us execute our project activities more effectively. Furthermore, cooperation and exchange of information based on good practices open new opportunities for further international cooperation in the field of nature conservation and ensuring favourable conditions for endangered species. To disseminate our project results, active participation in conferences or other similar events is foreseen in the scope of this task as well.
Status: Task is in progress
Results:
In May 2024, our project team visited the Society for the Protection of Prespa (SPP), an organisation working in the Greek part of Lake Prespa. SPP has been running the LIFE Prespa Waterbirds project (LIFE15 NAT/GR/000936) from 2016 to 2021, and before that they have been running the following LIFE projects: LIFE Prespa Fish & Fisheries, LIFE Mikri Prespa, LIFE Stymfalia and LIFE JunEx. During our visit we were introduced to their current activities, past projects and the machinery they use for their work.
