CNPA – 2nd Conference of the Carpathian Network of Protected Areas

During the conference ideas for possible future cooperation projects mainly under new EU financial programmes were being discussed. The involvement of BioREGIO Carpathians with other initiatives (CNPA, Alpine Convention, and Carpathian Convention) have been outlined and further strengthened.

Cooperation is essential in order to achieve important objectives such as ecological connectivity and continuity. Within a Region with so many environmental, economic and social common features such as the Carpathian Region the cooperation at transnational level is particularly relevant. This is underlined also in international agreements, such at the Carpathian Convention and its Biodiversity Protocol, and is a central topic of strategic transnational projects such as the European Territorial Cooperation South East.
