The Eastern part of the cross-border region is characterized by high degree of urbanization and with numerous protected areas. The Project aims to create a concept instantly embeded in urban development that supports ecosystems in and around urban areas, serving as major support of biodiversity in protected areas. The Project idea is to protect biodiversity through common measures in urban and suburban areas.
For the local people the importance of developing tourism, agriculture, manufacturing and infrastructure must done in a way most compatible with eco-systems. This requires a common mechanism for coordination and planning at regional level, to cover all the institutions and representatives of civil society in the process of urban development led by the idea of biodiversity conservation.
The general problem whose solution will be indicated by the realization of the project is -How the region can achieve development of economic potential while maintaining and even improving the ecosystems?
