HUMANITA

HUMANITA answers to the need underlined by the Central Europe Programme by assisting PA managers in Central Europe (CE) and other stakeholders (ie. the tourism industry)in the management of protected areas, developing tourism in a sustainable fashion while respecting nature conservation. PAs will work together with local stakeholders, and the local population towards a more effective and harmonized management of the shared natural heritage, preservation, and promotion of the common cultural values and tourist attractiveness of the project area. The harmonization of monitoring and research methodologies and the development and implementation of environmental policies, among the involved countries will facilitate sharing of biodiversity research results, development of common databases, prevent human-nature conflicts and negative impacts on nature and support the livelihood of local people and communities.
