Northern Forest Initiative: Forest Restoration in North Macedonia and Albania

Project Details
| Name | Northern Forest Initiative: Forest Restoration in North Macedonia and Albania |
| Description | "Northern Forests Initiative: Forest Restoration in North Macedonia and Albania" is a project financially supported by the Swedish Postcode Lottery and executed by the IUCN Regional Office for Eastern Europe and Central Asia (IUCN ECARO) in collaboration with two national partners – Macedonian Ecological Society (MES) and Protection and Preservation of Natural Environment in Albania (PPNEA). The NFI Project is part of the Swedish Postcode Foundation’s Northern Forest Initiative. The NFI Project aims to contribute toward preventing further net loss of forests in Albania and North Macedonia by initiating restoration work in key biodiversity landscapes outside the protected areas and strengthening capacities and commitments toward sustainable forest management. The NFI Project is implemented by applying Nature-based solutions (NbS) for Forest Landscape Restoration (FLR) in areas of importance for the conservation of the Balkan Lynx. The wider focus area of the NFI Project will be in the Bukovikj area for North Macedonia and Pashtrik-Morina area for Albania. The specific sites for restoration interventions are to be selected by applying a specialized Restoration Opportunities Assessment Methodology (ROAM). |
