Carpathian Treasures
The Carpathian Mountains are Europe’s greatest remaining wilderness area. They are a bastion of large carnivores, with over half the European populations of brown bear, wolves and lynx as well as the greatest remaining stands of natural forest. At the same time, the Carpathians have some of Europe’s richest cultural landscapes, shaped and enriched by centuries of human cultivation.

Available in digital form and on the Internet:
• Handbook of selected funding sources to support nature conservation and local development in the Carpathian Mountains. The handbook provides a general description and overview as well as links to further information on major funding sources available across the Carpathian Mountains, including in both EU and non-EU member states. Sources include relevant EU funds as well as EEA, Norwegian and Swiss funding mechanisms.
• Powerpoint presentation on funding sources across the Carpathian Mountains – essentially a powerpoint version of the handbook and free for use and adaptation.
• Country reports: Funding sources available in individual Carpathian countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia). This Czech country report is also available in Czech and with further details and contact information.

Funding sources for supporting nature conservation and related development in the Czech Carpathians

I. Introduction: What and whom this handbook is for What it is for
The Carpathian Convention – which has been signed and ratified by all Carpathian countries including the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Ukraine – has set itself the aim of ensuring no less than the protection and maintenance of the region’s prodigious natural wealth and of promoting the long-term sustainable development of the region. This dovetails with a number of international commitments that Carpathian governments have made, including implementation of the Programme of Work on Protected Areas under the Convention on Biological Diversity as well as – for the EU member states – implementation of the EU’s Natura 2000 network of specially protected sites.
Fulfilling these ambitious aims will require significant financial support for everything from protected area management and conservation measures to awareness raising and nature-friendly development for local communities. Fortunately, there are a number of not insignificant funding sources available to cover at least some of these needs. Gradual reforms have served to increasingly integrate environmental needs into a range of substantial EU funding sources, including e.g. into rural and regional development funds, which are available only to the EU Member States, but also into new funds that can be tapped by prospective EU member states and neighboring countries. There is also parallel support available to a number of the Carpathian countries from the governments of Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Iceland. At national level, there are also a range of different funding instruments, including national programmes of support.
This country report provides an overview to the most relevant funding sources that are available to support nature conservation and related local development in the Carpathian areas of Slovakia. It consists of three main tables:
Table 1: Funding needs for nature conservation and related development, organized into general categories of funding needs, from management planning to compensation.
Table 2: Overview of funding sources available for nature conservation and related development, providing a short description of these sources.
Table 3: Funding sources available for specific funding needs, which presents the funding sources outlined in Table 2 according to categories of funding needs (Table 1) that they can address. This last table should enable you to quickly identify the funding sources that may be available for your particular need.
A handbook and complementary powerpoint presentation are also available that provide an overview of selected funding sources for nature conservation and related development that are available across the Carpathians both to EU and non-EU member states. They cover relevant EU sources as well as EEA, Norwegian and Swiss Financial Mechanisms.
Our ultimate aim is to ensure the full and effective use of any and all funding available for nature conservation and sustainable development in the Carpathians. Who it is for
The handbook is ultimately intended for all stewards of high nature value areas, including Protected Area managers, NGOs, local communities and interested stakeholders. While the primary focus is on biodiversity and landscape conservation, much if not most of the contents of the handbook address inevitably related issues of sustainable local development. While these materials are intended expressly for audiences in the Carpathian Mountains, many of the sources described are relevant in other areas as well.
