Community-based management of threatened ecosystems and species.
The proposal should consistently use the following key terms:
biodiversity conservation;
forest ecosystem protection;
community stewardship;
citizen science;
youth empowerment;
women’s participation;
science-based monitoring;
visitor-pressure reduction;
sustainable local livelihoods;
protected area management;
replication and scaling.
The strongest positioning is:
Fruška Gora as the first demonstration site of a science-based, CSO-led and community-owned biodiversity wellbeing model that can be replicated in other protected areas across the region.
