Project Details
| Name | Skadar/Shkodra Lake Watershed-a Transboundary Biosphere Reserve |
| Description | The overall objective of the proposed project “To strengthen protection of transboundary ecosystems, sustainable socio-economic development of Skadar/Shkoder Lake Watershed and promote good neighbourly relations through designation in line with conditions of UNESCO Man and Biosphere Programme” intends to impact change of protection and development status of the important transboundary ecosystem shared between AL and MNE and put all resources in use, to sustainably and collaboratively manage the area for the benefit of communities and of nature itself. Specific objectives: To foster collaborative designation of Skadar/Shkoder Lake Watershed (SLW) as UNESCO Transboundary Biosphere Reserve (TBR) To improve biodiversity targets and monitoring of ecological status and threats within the potential UNESCO TBR. Expected outputs: 1)Montenegro and Albania submit participatory developed TBR nomination form for SLW to UNESCO, 2) Stakeholders and local population capacitated to participate and support nomination of SLW as an UNESCO TBR, and 3) Regional agency of protected areas in Shkoder and National Parks office in Podgorica equipped to increase frequency and scope of conservation and monitoring |
