Danube River Network of Protected Areas - Development and Implementation of Transnational Strategies for the Conservation of the Natural Heritage at the Danube River

Programme 2007 - 2013 South East Europe

Date of latest update: 2021-04-06

Description

Description (EN):

Based on existing partnership among Protected Areas (PA) along the river Danube the "Danube River Network of Protected Areas" will be established in accordance with the appeal launched by the "Declaration of Tulcea" in April 2007 (http://www.ramsar.org/mtg/mtg_danube_regional_2007a.htm). For the first step, the partnership includes 10 PAs from 6 Danube countries, additional partners (e.g. in Germany, Croatia, Ukraine) will be invited in the future. All PP work on site and are leading actors in the management of natural heritage with full political support by relevant ministries which is underlined by the numerous ministries joining "Danubeparks" as observer partners. As platform to address transnational challenges the Network will develop and implement joint conservation strategies, coherent management practice and a common corporate identity of Danube River PA. Project management, Steering Committee and the establishment of standing technical task forces will ensure active cooperation, communication and know-how transfer among PPs. This will be the base for the planning and implementation of pilot projects of transnational relevance focussing on following modules: 1. improvement of river morphology, 2. floodplain management & habitat network, 3. conservation of flagship species, 4. implementation of NATURA 2000 & transnational monitoring, 5. Danube nature tourism. Fostering an integrated approach of managing PA the Network will involve a wide range of local, national and international stakeholders. A main focus will be on raising public awareness on the common natural heritage of the Danube and the dissimination of project results. The established framework of the "Danube River Network of Protected Areas" and the generation of transnational follow-up projects ensure continous transnational cooperation in the long term.
