#SkadarLakeWatershed - A Transboundary Biosphere Reserve project has managed to ensure both, topdown and the bottom up approach, generate partnerships, sharing rights and responsibilities for an effective #collaborative new regional development mandate. 🤝 We have concluded an inspiring three-day event in Podgorica on sustainable business practices and innovative governance models for biosphere reserves. ▶️ Here’s a recap of some key moments: 🌏 #BiosphereReserves extend beyond protected areas. They do not provide for additional protection, bans or restrictions. 🏕️They can provide for #greeneconomy and #sustainabletourism, facilitating local community involvement. 🔬BRs support research, monitoring, education, and training. 🗺️They belong to a world network that helps knowledge exchange, and provide examples for overcome challenges. 🫶We were inspired by experience of Austria, Germany, Czech and Italy BRs and learned from the success and constrains of the newest transboundary nomination process #JulianAlps, and the first five country TBR Mura - Drava - Danube #MDD! On the State Ecological Day we were privileged to have a high level impactful discussion on the Skadar Lake Watershed TBR and the Tara River Basin BR! 🗣️State Secretary in the Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Northern Region Development announced we can expect #nomination Dossier to be sent for designation next year in September! 📑 #UNDP and #EUDofMontenegro and #UNESCO Venice esteemed officials underliend the critical importance of transboundary process, involvement of stakeholders, thus cooperation and sustainable development for the case of Lake Skadar Watershed. #EnvPro Director stated that transformation of the way resources are used toward more effective, fair and inclusive is the end goal of the project! From thought-provoking speeches to interactive discussions, participants contributed to a meaningful dialogue within the context of MNE and #ALB nomination concluding #BR is a platform for cooperation. SLW - TBR community based focus was particularly discussed as a positive moment! A heartfelt thank to all the 150 participants, esteemed speakers and online attendees. #ipacbcmontenegroalbania UNESCO Venice Tamara Brajovic Fachhochschule Eberswalde #biospherereserve Danijel Garic Milica Nikolic Ermelinda Mahmutaj Jana Baumgartner Francesca Bampa, PhD #EUDtoMontenegro Lisa MJ Wolf …

Do we care for any #nature? It is very important when the ecosystem has the potential to recover and #restore after logging, forest fires… building complex interactions necessary to preserve its and ours (are we nature?) vital elements (soil, water, climate...) in this way building #resilience for further disasters. Such ecosystems are not recognized by current environmental protection policies in a significant way, but are of inestimable importance for the preserving existing, functional ecological structures and the increase of the (self) regulatory capacity of forest, wetland and grasslands. Field visit to #LBBUEC - #Ulcinj and natural ecosystems: together with the representative of Eberswalde University - Fachhochschule Eberswalde, #HNEE, project consultants and experts Mensura Nuhodzic, Slavisa Lucic, Mihailo Jovicevic, Bogic Gligorovic, Local Tourism Organization Ulcinj, Mountaineering Society Rumija, local NGO @MogUl, @Reborn by adventure and local enthusiasts, 22.08. visited: the hinterland, the area of Anamajsko polje, and Bijela Gora.
