Latest news 21 December 2011 Open session of National Steering Committee and public awareness event on the UNDP-GEF Carpathians project
The main objective of the event was to convey to the public and key national stakeholders the key messages regarding the sustainable management and conservation of biodiversity: the need to cover the costs of parks administration through budgetary allocations, improved financial management systems, business plans and novel mechanisms of payments for ecosystem services; and the economic valuation of ecosystem services, such as clean water, soil protection, carbon sequestration and landscape conservation, which needs to substantiate the political message on protected areas. The main goal of the project is to secure the financial sustainability of Romania’s Carpathian Network of Protected Areas (CNPA), which could further serve as a model for replication to the entire Carpathian Network of Protected Areas. This will be achieved through 1) supportive legislative framework and Sustainable Protected Areas Financing Strategy; and 2) strengthening the institutional and individual capacities of management authorities and local stakeholders to implement this strategy.
