The overall objective of the LIFE project is to enhance communication in the society, especially the local communities and landowners and nature conservation stakeholders.
The objectives of the project are:
- to help to solve Natura2000 related conflicts between local communities and conservation administration;
- to use solved cases for storytelling about Natura2000 as a flexible and efficient tool for nature conservation;
- to improve Natura2000 overall image for Estonians to promote the implementation of the Habitat and Birds Directive;
- to share lessons in the Eastern European region.
Project partners: Estonian Fund for Nature, Environmental Law Centre, University of Tartu, Nature Bus.
