| SAVEGREEN DEBUTANTE: A BEGINNING OF A BEAUTIFUL "COOPERATIONSHIP" |
| |
 |
|
Achieving long lasting results in nature conservation requires diverse expertise and even thought the pandemic makes it very difficult, we should not forget that protecting nature is still a crucial responsibility for all of us. Thus forming networks of sectoral collaborations via online conferences and meetups is a great way to predefine future goals now, then we can act on them later as opportunities arise. Events like EU GreenWEEK, the 18th European Week of Regions and Cities, and the invitation to rEvERsE project kick- off meeting were truly fantastic opportunity to build those connections transnationally.

SAVEGREEN: BEHIND THE SCENES
|
| |
 |
|
Building connections outside the usual framework of a project consortium is essential, so does setting up the inner operational processes of the transnational cooperation. The first half year of the project was indeed very busy with such endeavors. Some of those events were the official formation of the local working groups with the strategic partners, the Steering comittee and partner meetings, and as well as the workpackage meetings with fruitful discussions and planing.

|
| |
 |
|
In the evening hours right after the first day of the SaveGREEN Kick-off Meeting a lynx got hit by a car near the village of Chvalčov in Hostýn Hills (Eastern Moravia). This sad accident shows the problems with the current state of eco-connectivity, and why any project that aims to help on this matter like the "GREEN trilogy projects" (TRANS, Connect and SaveGREEN) are desired. These vulnerable bottleneck areas, where these large carnivores live, definitely needs support and help gaining back their crucial role in the eco-system.
