Action 4. Participate in EU management projects (e.g. LIFE, Interreg): exchange ideas through
TB meetings to develop proposals that incorporate TB management principles and incorporate
regular info transfer among stakeholders and between parks; both parks participate in project
implementation; and ensure proper inclusion of project results into parks’ management plans
and operational protocols to facilitate effective TB management of bears.
Action 1. Organize forums for info exchange with stakeholders: organize at least 2
transboundary (TB) meetings per year with relevant representatives to prepare common
protocol for TB info exchange including a common database and sophisticated
communication tools to improve effectiveness of TB bear management efforts.
Action 2. Create inclusive TB bear management position paper: create draft position paper
highlighting areas of agreement among stakeholders; in case of open questions seek common
solutions through workshops; regularly update draft; and incorporate agreed position paper into
parks’ management plans to ensure that stakeholder wishes are taken into account when
implementing TB bear management measures.
Action 3. Involvement with strategic & operational decisions: participate in meetings with state
administration for taking strategic decisions; initiate or participate in national and TB meetings
to discuss crucial management questions and participate in developing decision documents;
and organize operational meetings at local level; and participate in implementing operational
decisions, e.g. measures to mitigate conflicts and raise public awareness.
Action 9. Participate in research projects: follow relevant calls through the European Union
framework programme funding research and innovation; and work closely with researchers when
developing project ideas to incorporate work packages and tasks that will inform TB bear
management

Action 6. Protected area distributes prevention tools: prepare criteria/protocol for equipment
allocation/donation; organize trainings for the proper installation and use of equipment; and
monitor the effectiveness of equipment use, to improve efficiency of TB bear management
Action 5. Pressure government authorities to give out bear-prevention tools: ask relevant state
authorities in IT and SL to provide bear prevention tools free of cost to relevant stakeholders
(e.g. farmers, bee-keepers); and initiate legislative framework amendment to enable farmers
in the region to apply for preventative tools free of cost or with at least partly reduced costs
[already accomplished on SL side] to improve efficiency of TB bear management.
Action 7. Organize regular meetings of data-gatherers: organize TB meetings including
pressuring data-gatherers about the necessity of sharing data; during meetings with data-
gatherers, identify the type of information required for comprehensive management, reach
agreement concerning data submission, and exchange and interpret the information to
improve effectiveness of TB bear management efforts
Action 8. Manage conflict bears: participate in administrative procedures (written opinions,
coordination, alternatives); work closely with farmers and other stakeholders to reach agreement
on most appropriate solutions beyond administrative procedures to prepare initiative for state
administrations to reduce administrative barriers; and data exchange between authorities of TNP
and PNPG regarding conflict bears to improve efficiency of TB bear management

Good Water Neighbors
Rehabilitating the Jordan River
through transboundary cooperation
Center for Water Security
Page 2
Good Water Neighbors
Brings people together across the conflict to jointly advance
sustainable cross border water and sanitation projects and improve
the natural environment.
Beneficiaries: citizens, the governments, international visitors, other
stakeholders, and the global environment.
Raises awareness of the shared
water reality of Jordanians,
Palestinians, and Israelis.
Page 3
Water Grab and Backdoor Dump
• A conflict mindset has led the Jordan River to be a mere trickle of
what it originally was with 94% of the original water flow diverted.
• High concentration of sewage, fishpond effluents and agriculture
runoff, despite its incredible environmental importance to the
world.
• The Jordan River is a border area surrounded by minefields,
checkpoints and fences.
Page 4
Building Blocks
Bottom Up - Grassroots initiative
• Address issues from a grassroots perspective
• Achieve local engagement.
• Empower the civil society
Top Down
• Create awareness in national governments and international institutions
• Research and Media
• Mobilize the necessary resources to advance the solutions
Page 5
Impact
• Sewage treatment plants in Jordan, Palestine
and Israel
• Release of fresh water into the Jordan River by
the Sea of Galilee
• Return of native habitat
• Jordan River Masterplan advances 129 projects
requiring $5.6M investment across the Jordan
Valley including a cross border peace park
Page 6
Reflections
• It is a long term process
• The synergy between the two approaches is
important for results
• Local leadership from the local community is
important
• Seeing is believing and leads to action
• Facilitators are needed
• Sustainable strong networks can be created
through meetings and collaboration on
environmental
