ConnectGREEN (DTP 072-2.3) – Restoring and managing ecological corridors in mountains as the green infrastructure in the Danube basin

Abstract

Institute of Architecture and Urban & Spatial Planning of Serbia (IAUS) as an IPA 1 project partner was engaged in the project ConnectGREEN (DTP 072-2.3) – Restoring and managing ecological corridors in mountains as the green infrastructure in the Danube basin, which is being implemented under the second call of the INTERREG Danube Transnational program. In the period from 2018-2021, the project ensured the implementation of a sustainable platform for harmonizing the practice of nature conservation and spatial planning in the Carpathian region, by defining ways to revitalize and manage the migratory corridors of large carnivors (bear, lynx and wolf). The aim of the project wass to exchange experiences, disseminate results, improve the participation process and contacts with various stakeholders, implement new tools in the planning process, and improve methodological approaches in scientific research.
