Project Components
Component 2 - Protected Areas Management:
This component will support the next step towards the sustainable resource management and protection within the two protected sites, Persina Nature Park (22000 ha) and Kalimok– Brushlen Protected Site (6000 ha). Starting with the preparation of protected areas management plans at the two sites, the component will then move on to support the implementation of priority actions identified within the management plan framework
