Aktivitäten Project activities were focused in two regions that have been chosen for their potential to serve as models thanks to their special characteristics: Hartibaciu Plateau in central Transylvania and Maramures. The project developed model activities demonstrating opportunities for income generation that contribute to protected area and sustainable resource management. Skills of stakeholders on communication and conflict resolution have been improved through training. Technical and Legal Expert Groups have been established to address especially conflicts related to infrastructure development and management and protection of Natura 2000 areas. On county level the project established planning groups in order to improve the use of funds in the next EU financial period. At national level, the project promoted the inclusion of values and benefits of protected areas in the future funding programme. Media work and public events were seeked to magnify the learning and results of the project, in order to achieve greater impact at regional and national levels.
