  • Project structure : The main and overarching objective of the GREENNET project is to support and strengthen policies, strategies and approaches to safeguard an interlinked ecological network with a special focus on non-legally or low protected ecologically valuable areas in the Central European Green Belt. Greennet addresses the use and protection of environmental potentials by promoting innovative and sustainable approaches enhancing natural environment in the Central European Green Belt. The Green Belt also consists of a large amount of intermediate areas without any particular protection status, yet they will play an integral role in the creation of an interconnected transnational ecological network. Accordingly, these areas with no or low protection status need to be included in strategies and concepts. As the Green Belt contains a diverse range of cultural and natural heritages it means Greennet offers the unique chance to simultaneously conserve not only natural heritage, but also cultural heritage. Both of which are of high European value.
