(Hide Synopsis)
|
| Objective(s) |
The third sub-regional workshop between Russia, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine is aimed at providing the national team leaders from four of the project target countries to meet, exchange experiences and good prctices on the implementation of the JP. |
| Output/Results |
The sub-regional workshop gave the opportunity to the 4 national teams (Belarus, Moldova, Ukraine and the Russian Federation) to share information on their respective results achieved up to 2010. Since 2009, national teams have been making their national lists of species to be mapped. During the workshop, they had the opportunity to exchange their views on these species and to work towards selecting the maximum possible number of common species. This will allow for the production of a more complete sub-regional biogeographical map.
|
| Conclusions/Follow Up |
As this was the third and last project sub-regional event, the participants from the four countries knew each other very well. They have used the time provided by the official part of the meeting, but also the moments dedicated to more informal discussions, to exchange their good practices and to discuss joint actions they could undertake for the update of the Bern Convention instruments such as Resolutions 4 (1996) on habitats and Resolution 6 (1998) on species to be protected.
Ideas on how the JP should be followed-up after the end of the current Jp were also dicsussed and all national representatives confirmed their interest and committment to continue working with the Council of Europe toward the full setting-up of the Emerald Network as decided in the Emerald Calendar 2020. |
