   Train the Trainers  Danube Floodplain NP: Austria  23.04.07 - 27.04.07            

 

Event status: completed: click for news
Registration deadline: NA

The Natura 2000 Networking Programme (NNP) 'Train the Trainers' event will involve 30 Natura 2000 site managers and landowners.

The training programme will focus on good practice management for Natura 2000, and on the discussion of problems associated with the implementation of Natura 2000, in order to find common solutions for both private stakeholders and public authorities.

This is the first event in a roll-out programme of activities to be implemented throughout 2007. Over the course of the year 15 Member State level workshop events will tackle key Natura 2000 site management issues, on a thematic basis.

The NNP specifies an integrated approach, recognising the essential contributions of different stakeholders responsible for and interacting with Europe's rich diversity of Natura 2000 sites and surrounding areas. Focusing on communication, capacity building and the value of working in partnership to achieve nature conservation objectives, the Natura 2000 Networking Programme will create a series of training events, themed workshops and practical tools to promote Natura 2000, good practice in site management and the benefits of networking, across Europe. The Natura 2000 Networking Programme is funded by the European Commission and managed on their behalf by Eurosite, the European Landowners Organization and the EUROPARC Federation.

Natura 2000 Networking Programme -Natura 2000 and Tourism

The European system of protected nature sites called Natura 2000 more and more secures quality of life – not only for plants and animals, but also for people including their sustainable business activities. Meanwhile, successful examples of co-operations arise from the conflicting field of nature conservation versus tourism. In many protected area regions tourism as economic sector profits demonstrably from protected area services, such as securing landscapes and services to visitors as well as a positive image. At the same time, nature conservation tasks enjoy visitors’ attention and recognition.
The conference is dedicated to the wide field of tensions and good partnership examples, as well as to tested and new ideas.

  Wild Places, Open Spaces: Natura 2000 on the North West Coast Prince of Wales Hotel, Southport, United Kingdom 13-11-07            

 

Over 80% of North West England's coast is designated for its international value for wildlife and/or habitats but are we making the most of the opportunities these designations bring?

The North West Coastal Forum and Sefton Metropolitan Borough Council are pleased to announce a joint regional event exploring the opportunities offered by Natura 2000 - the collective branding for Special Protection Areas and Special Areas of Conservation - including funding opportunities for site managers and examples from other areas of both the EU and the UK where the Natura 2000 label has been used successfully as a brand to boost
tourism and marketing of local products. Relevance for North West sites and initiatives will be explored and there will be plenty of opportunities for questions and discussion.
